This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

>"While digital piracy does not constitute theft in the strict sense defined under common law" >"That should help you understand how its still a kind of theft."
it's not theft, but it is? i know it's a crime, but not all crimes are theft. unless you want to define all crimes as theft.
is murder a kind of theft, because you're taking someone's life? is kidnapping a kind theft, because you're taking a person?
it's not theft. it's a different crime. just like pterosaurs and dinosaurs are different groups of animals.
I'm not here to get pedantic with a person who doesn't capitalize the first letter of their sentences. It's a crime. It's theft adjacent. This concludes my TED Talk.
oh noooo i don't press the shift key how could i do sucy a thing
do you define any crime as "theft adjacent"? it would make sense if you did
