For someone so anti-piracy, you sure do justify it an awful lot....

You claimed "when you pirate something the original owner does not lost anything", which is simply not true.

Your logic is wrong. If you take something that someone else is selling, no matter what that is, and don't pay for it, the person(s) that created it have lost potential value. Even if that potential was a later "fire sale", or selling that version much later at a huge discount when newer/better products were out. You can buy Duke Nukem for $2 at most Big Lots, for example... Unless you pirated it back when it came out, in which case, why bother?

Using your logic, and your false assumptions, you could justify just about anything. Like taking _a_Ferrari_ is just fine, because they're asking more than someone else values it for.

Pirating is wrong. Justifying it is equally wrong. If piracy didn't cause financial loss, nobody would be concerned over it.
