Hi Nicole, Let's be clear on this point. Steeling is by definition taking something without paying for it or taking something that does not belong to you. Just because you can't physically pick it up and take it does not mean you can't steel it. There are multiple forms of steeling.
For example, if a game developer has an audio game for sale for $20 and you get it from someone else for free you have stolen it. The reason is that developer has spent time working on that game, has probably paid for sounds and music, and perhaps has paid a voice actor or actress to voice various characters in the game. Therefore that developer should be financially compensated for his/her time, the money spent on development, etc. When you just take a game for free without paying for it you in effect steel both their time and labor without properly paying for them. You can also steel ideas. The reason copyright laws exist is to protect people's rights to what are known as intellectual property rights. I.E. their ideas. You can't just read a good book, watch a movie, or whatever and use those characters etc in your own product and sell it because that would be steeling that person's ideas. Does that make sense? Bottom line, it is pretty simple. If you don't pay for it and it doesn't belong to you then you have stolen it. It doesn't matter if it is an idea, a piece of software, or something physical like a DVD or CD steeling is steeling. It is for that reason if anyone, and I mean anyone, is caught pirating a game on this list they will not only be moderated but banned from this list forever. Keep that in mind before casually asking someone to "Dropbox a game to you" because that will not be allowed. Cheers!
