Stealing a rental car is still car theft.
Bad comparison.
It’s more like buying a car, driving it for two years, then the manufacturer decides they no longer want to support the car so it auto drives off in the middle of the night
No you can’t have a refund
Don't even need the auto drive off aspect.
A better comparison is where the car will no longer start no matter what you do to it. But you own the body/frame.
But like if someone stole it in those two years it would still be theft.
It's a perfect comparison, it's just not proving what you think it's trying to prove. It's proving that the If/Then statement is wrong and makes no sense if you think about it. It's not proving that piracy is theft.
Piracy isn't theft, but this isn't why.
If the rental car was advertised as a car you can own, you paid the price for owning the car and they get you on the fine print. No sir, then its not theft.
Making exact copy of rental car is not.
Fuck yeah I would download a car
In the same way that taking a photo at a museum is theft
I mean yeah, but digital copies of something are definitely different then a literal car.
Yeah, if they could print effectively infinite copies of the car at almost zero cost then it would be comparable
They sure are!
No one expects to be the owner of a rented car. That why people ask "are you the home owner or a renter?"
Do you go to a car store and pay full price to have the car in your car library indefinitely before having the dealer come say "sike, we're taking that back"?
