Stealing vs Copying

Copying

Making a copy of something. It’s not only in the information architecture. Seeing human: parent-child relations. “It’s a free copy of life”. With biologial aspects as well. Not just a copy but a learning curve for free. Who would be happier than someone who gets to teach their own son?

Stealing

Something is related to someone.
In a legal term.
It might be phisical or not.

Stealing vs Copying

My favoruite part coming: a case of a video game.

At the first, there are companies pushing money and human resources to create them. It’s not for free.
Having warez groups releases the game is not a full range solution.
Reaching game servers feature, getting fresh updates are also missing in warez releases.

With buying a video game you have all features and important updates at the first hand, whatever it is:

  • issue fixation in the code
  • feature extraction
  • new contents

Personally I’m buying video games, I respect the developers’ work much and getting a full support of the game.
