But you copy for commercial gain because it saves you money. Stealing a car is the same whether you use the car yourself or sell it. Same with stealing a burger, or a diamond tiara or a book, electrnic or physical.

You are not Robin Hood here. In fact in many cases you are stealing from the poor and trying to encourage others to do the same.

It is like you think you can talk your way into heaven by saying I got other people to do it so it must be okay. Good luck with that there.
