Piracy, actually, but yes. That tweet was such a dumpster fire. All it accomplished was it showed how grossly misinformed Linus was about this topic. How ad blocking equals copyright infringement is beyond me.

But then again theft is not theft according to the same small Canadian man.

It's only theft if he loses money.
