"If buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing."

That's a fiendish retort to the IP and copyright lawyers for attacking the older saying: "piracy isn't theft, it's piracy. Theft removes the original. Piracy takes a copy."

Now if I can't access my copy, somehow it's not to be recognized as theft.
