Piracy is defined as the unauthorized used of someone’s work and claiming it as if its yours. Piracy and theft can be very similar however, what separates the two is the idea that theft you are taking someone else’s work and changing the content of it as if it was your own and piracy you don’t change the content you simply copy it. Similar to what Paul Tassi said in “ You Will Never Kill Piracy, and Piracy Will Never Kill you”, “It’s like being placed in a store full of every DVD in existence. There are no employees, no security guards, and when you take a copy of movie, another one materializes in its place, so you’re not actually taking anything.” There was no physical item taken, you didn’t walk into the store and steal of those movies and walked out, instead you left them as they were and copying it. One of the main arguments about how piracy is affecting the media industries is that each download is a potential sale. However, Paul Tassi counter claims this by saying that “ I might take every movie in that fictional store if I was able to, but would I have spent $3 million to legally buy every single DVD? No, I’d probably have picked my two favorite movies and gone home. So yes, there are losses, but they are miniscule compared to what the companies actually claim they’re losing.”Another claim the author justify that piracy is someway isn’t hurting the case for copyright online is that “The primary problem movie studios have to realize is that everything they charge for is massively overpriced. The fact that movie ticket prices keep going up is astonishing. How can they possibly think charging $10-15 per ticket for a new feature is going to increase the amount of people coming to theaters rather than renting the movie later or downloading it online for free?” So people no longer want to go to the movie as the prices of the movies keep increasing drastically if they have the option to watch it from the comfort of their home for free. But as you gain something by staying home you are missing out on the actual experience of physically going into a movie theater. Another way that it hurts the case of copyright online by the article “The Pirate Bay Shutdown: The whole story” by Timothy J. Seppala, “For the past decade, if you wanted to download copyrighted material and didn’t want to pay for it, it’s likely you turned to The Pirate Bay. Up until a police raid took it offline last week, it was the most popular place to grab Sunday’s episode of The Newsroom or Gone Girl months before the Blu-ray hits stores. You didn’t have to log in to some arcane message board or know someone to get an invite — the anonymous file-sharing site was open to everybody and made piracy as simple as a Google search.”
