I'm ambivalent about it.
Just saying that someone who's livelihood depends on selling downloads views the illegal distribution of hid products as theft. He's not a lawyer, neither am I and neither are you. But he gets angry when he finds that his copyright has been violated. So crime, yes, theft, questionable. There needs to be a sale in the first place, so the uploader breaks the terms of use. That's illegal, but not theft.

Semantics semantics semantic Patel.

You've already said this
but the issue is that you started saying this "He regularly finds tracks of his on torrent sites, which means that these are genuine instances of torrents equating to lost sales" but as I've said, this is an incorrect statement.

And he can view the copyright infringement as theft all he likes, much like monty, but the fact that I am not a lawyer makes no difference to the fact that he is wrong.

His friend is an idiot.
Partially for this, but mainly for being friends with Dozer
