      “You wouldn’t download a car”

      Well if I could magically construct an infinite number of copies of a car it’s not the same thing…not that I would ever pirate anything! That would be a horrible thing to do

        If you can exactly copy said toothbrush and then clean your filthy bunghole with the copy it is totally fine, yeah.

          But the thing they are selling to you is not only the data. Also the right to use it. When a studio makes a game spending millions of dollars they don’t do it so one can buy it for 60$ and others can copy from him/her eh? Try moralizing it as much as you want. (If your being sarcastic sorry about that but doesn’t look like it) Privacy Piracy is stealing, and I am accepting I am stealing. No need to think otherwise.

        Sure. I can even spit extra on it no charge if that makes your day. Just download me a clean one afterwards will you.

        No, because you’re still tampering with the original product. That is not analogous to piracy. If you make a perfect 1:1 replica of my toothbrush, and use that to pleasure yourself, I don’t care, because my toothbrush is still in my bathroom untouched.
