The relevant section is blunt. “The Software is licensed to you, not sold,” the EULA states. “You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and personal license to play or use the Software for your private, non-commercial use on the system or device it was intended for.”

The terms also restrict renting, modifying, or obtaining games through unauthorised means. Nothing in there is new, technically. Sony’s EULA has always said this. The timing is what makes it land differently right now.

    If you copied all my personal data from my laptop, I’d still have it.

    If you stole it I wouldn’t.

    Companies steal trade secrets from each other all the time.

    If you copy a secret then it is no longer a secret, so something has changed for the original owner.

    Stop making up definitions and just accept that it’s stealing.

    You are the one changing the definition of stealing to try and apply it to piracy.

    stealing /ˈstiːlɪŋ/ noun

    the action or offence of taking another person’s property without permission or legal right and without intending to return it; theft.

      We are just going to have to disagree then. If you don’t think non-physical items can be stolen then this conversation is pointless.

        Oh yes. Non-physical items can be XXXX.

        We are just disagreeing on the word, not the action. I don’t believe traditional words (like stolen) are 100% transferable to the digital world.
