In case you or anyone else is curious, it's a reaction gif of Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy from Anchorman saying, "I can't argue with any of those points."

It's just a reaction gif (in webm format, which is probably why it's not showing for us)

Shows for me. It's a 2-second gif. Have you tried on the web?

On the Firefox instance I'm running now, it doesn't show inline in this page. But opening the context menu and "open video in new tab" works.

Meh, piracy wouldn't equal stealing even if buying did mean owning. Piracy is duplicating without removing the original and doesn't take away any existing thing from the current owner. I count potential sells as a hypothetical thing that doesn't currently exist. Therefore, piracy is nothing even close to stealing.
