      How so? This is straight from the dictionary:

      3
      a: the unauthorized use of another’s production, invention, or conception especially in infringement of a copyright
      b: the illicit accessing of broadcast signals

      • unauthorized - I’m not hacking around any YouTube authentication, nor did I agree to any additional terms of service
      • infringement of copyright - again, I’m not sharing it, reposting it, etc; I’m just accessing it as normal
      • illicit - I’m not breaking any laws

      So which part is incorrect?

        You continue defining yet more terms to avoid saying another. You do you, but that’s not how the world works

          What am I avoiding? You said my definition of piracy was incorrect. So I provided a commonly used dictionary definition of piracy to show my point.

          If you have another definition that is widely used, I’m happy to discuss it. But something isn’t piracy just because someone isn’t getting paid when they expect to be paid, it’s only piracy if you actually meet the definition of piracy.

                The part where your text wasn’t from a cited agreed upon source, but your own ass. God damn give it a rest and take your ADHD meds ffs.

                  You mentioned my definition, so I linked a commonly used dictionary definition. Here it is again in case you missed it:

                  https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/piracy

                  I even copy/pasted the relevant part of the definition, ignoring the high seas definition. I don’t know what more you expect. If you have an issue with the source I cited, cite your own. If you have an issue with my interpretation of that definition, articulate it.

                    Are you daft? You chose one fourth of the definition, dismissing the parts that made you sound like a retard. Im sick and tired of having to engange with autistic pricks like yourself. Fucking take a hint.
