Presumably the same captcha nonsense.

Is it ok to steal from a liquor store because they require a license shown to buy it and for some reason you can't get yours?

I’d download a car, if that’s what you’re asking.

This is more like them requiring a license, but then also refusing to actually check yours.

If the liquor store is also the DMV that approves licenses and they've been closed for over a year, yeah.

It's also a free giveaway so it's more like grabbing some of the free tasting samples without approval.

It's not stealing, please stop repeating this nonsensical comparison.

Just like if I watch you key in your PIN at an ATM, I'm not stealing your PIN. You can still use your PIN, same as before!

My PIN is 3414, copy it as much as you like.

Copyright infringement is not theft.
