Piracy vs God vs Stealing
To steal is to claim what doesn't belong to us and call it ours. Does the body which we call 'our body' and this mind which we call 'our mind' really belong to us? Is the act of having children ourselves an act of pirating Gods initial creation? Will God come down and smite all those that have had kids? I think that would be the funniest thing in the world if that happened.
He who is not grateful; he who enjoys what is given to him by the bountiful Nature without giving thanks, and offering sacrifices; such a one is verily a thief. 'The good, eating only what is left over from sacrifice, are freed from all sin; but they who prepare and consume only for themselves without offering and sharing, those sinful ones eat sin.'
So this way you can clearly see that sharing is caring and to not share is Thievery and sin eating sin. Because what is ours is not really ours anyway and clearly and again you see that Sin is Different from Piracy and Piracy is not Thievery because Piracy is still not the act of calling something your own when it is not. It is though, a word created and applied to something that we want to control and in order to do that we have to cast it in a particular light, taking something that is intended for sharing and speeding up the process. Look at what applying the word Piracy has done to the evil music and entertainment industry (well the larger music and entertainment industry anyway)...it has sped up the process that we receive movies from the theater, have crappy soundtracks available faster than ever before and the digital age of exchanging record companies who have flat out missed the boat have given rise to less need for such labels. Now its all a big argument over control and this has nothing to do with the essence of music at all.
