    factually not correct.

    what is ‘being stolen’ exactly?

    Nothing is being taken from them, they just aren’t getting everything they planned on. that is not theft. just like piracy isn’t theft since nothing is physically being taken or lost.

      This is like the 1800s definition of theft. Its been updated but people keep repeating this over and over.

      I support piracy but just be nitpicky, data theft is absolutely a thing, hackers do that all the time and you could argue piracy is somewhat data theft or intellectual property theft. Half the internet is up in arms about AI’s use of intellectual property without compensation or consent.

          So they claim to own it now when they didn’t own it before and they didn’t pay or otherwise compensate for it. That sounds an awful lot like theft

      Yeah, it is not an opinion, it is just plainly wrong. You agree to explicit and well defined terms in the EULA for the product. Opinions aren’t relevant, just the facts of the EULA. My Roku TV EULA does not mandate a maintained internet connection, so I never agreed to provide internet to my TV.
