I've seen this quote repeated over and over these past few weeks, while noone brothers to actually explain what it means and why. This article is no different unfortunately.
People want at the same time that wages are higher but they also do not want to pay, for example, software developers appropriately.
No one wants to be part of the problem, though. So some people justify their copyright infringing by claiming it's some sort of movement for justice and rebellion against corporations.
Have you ever bought something online (movies, games) that you can't save/download and then the company you have the money to removed that? That is stealing from you. Simple.
If Sony openly stole from these people, a class action case against them should be a no brainer.
But you won't see one because we both know it isn't theft. They're still garbage and trash, and so I have no problem pirating content, but calling what they did "stealing" is either incredibly ignorant or incredibly disingenuous.
