If you truly believe that all torrent use is “theft” then you really need to get a reality check there.
Yes, torrenting software may violate morals and copyright laws, but it is not necessarily illegal (depending on where the download takes place) and it is not synonymous with stealing. I’ll give you an example. If I came over to your house, took your car keys, and drove off with your car, never to return, then yes, I just stole your car. However, if someone downloads a piece of software from the internet, it isn’t the original – it is a copy. The original is still in tact.
But of course you say, that’s still stealing from the developer! Because that person downloaded the software, that’s one less sale that the developer would make. Wrong. Just because someone can get something for free does NOT mean that they would have paid for it in the first place. I’ll give you another example, I regularly download movies. Why? Because I don’t believe I should have to pay $20-$30 to buy it in the store before I realize that it’s utter shit. If I like a movie I download, then I go out and buy it. If I think it’s utter shit, then I’ll simply delete it and move on with life. Same with software, music, and the like.
