The original owner is potentially deprived of compensation for the service of providing the copy to you.

Of course notice how that is still not theft, and how I mentioned potentially. But the original owner is potentially deprived of that.

Of course then we need to get into whether the copy would have been made or the content would have been outright ignored without piracy... and whether the act of pirating the content will push the pirate to purchase content (s)he would otherwise have not purchased. Etc. etc. etc.

So you're not entirely correct... but anti-piracy groups are much much moreso not correct. Just google "Monty Python 23000%" or "comic 4chan watches sales soar" for examples of how piracy leads to sales which otherwise would have not occurred... and "Ubisoft Piracy and the death of reason" for an example of how a lack of piracy and methods used to control piracy HURT revenue.

Hey, eventually one day people may realize... control does not scale with revenue... and you often need to sacrifice one for the other... and to stop blaming the lack of the latter on the perceived lack of the former -- rather the superabundance of the former.

Nah... it sounds like Apple just was complacent and didn't care about patching a vulnerability that they knew about because they felt their engineer was better utilized for some other task.

Because that's how it always is for Apple. Security when we get around to it.

Except when those other people help your children later... there's too much zero-sum mindset in a non zero-sum community.

Because tampering with evidence is a crime... possibly a felony... and some cases is 20 years + 250,000$ -- maybe more, but that's the largest I've seen.

No.

If you are spending more than GDP, GDP might grow and overtake the rate you WERE spending on GDP.

By your logic it's impossible to start a business... because you need to spend more than you make you will never make any money as a business starts with zero revenue by definition.
