    While I appreciate the sentiment, theft of service is a crime. You don’t have to be able to own something to be able to steal it.

      You do own the service though, or at least the result of it.

      I hire someone to build me a garage, I own the garage.

      Guess they better lock me up then.

      Wait, uh oh, is that the sound of sirens? Are they finally coming for me? Nope, it’s just the cops seizing someone’s civil assets at a traffic stop. Another day on the high seas for me.

        What does a lack of enforcement, or other bullshit that the government does, have to do with the fact that OPs post made no sense.

          It made sense to me. Try unburdening yourself from this mindset of corporate lordship.

            I’m not in that mindset. Doesn’t mean laws and definitions of words don’t exist law. We can say fuck them and that we don’t care, but they still exist.

      When evil hides behind legality, there’s no moral imperative for good people to follow laws.

        Exactly! So many authoritarians pretend that every law is sacrosanct to the same degree as the ones against murder and meanwhile we have motherfuckers outlawing water breaks in triple digit degrees weather and mandating discrimination!

        Theft of service is stuff like getting a haircut and leaving without paying. No, it’s not evil that there are laws against doing that.

        Calling software a service is quite a stretch, though.
