piracy

Old usage: the act of sailing around on a huge boat with a bunch of other guys (all of whom most likely are missing either one of their legs, hands, or eyes) and raiding spanish galleons up and down whatever coast you happen to be on. This action usually involves a lot of town pillaging, treasure looting, booty stealing, cutlass weilding, ARRR! yelling, parrot having, musket shooting, rum drinking, accordion playing, cannon cannoning, and buggery.

New usage: the act of stealing music, movies, unlicensed software, etc off of the internet. Usually done through a variety of p2p clients. This practice is of course denounced by the industry and they have launched a campaign of legal action and anti-piracy media featuring the likes of M E Hart aimed at destroying piracy, but all indications as of now are that it will survive.

In both cases, piracy is awesome.

Up with piracy!

The piraven

the piraven is the art of sticking your fist full of curry in someone's arsehole then sewing it up leading theit ass to spontaneously combust. This is all done while playing the legendary game of fortnite on an ipad to get that victory royale

Man 1: What did you do last night?
Man 2: My sexy hunk of a boyfriend gave me the piraven and im still waiting.

piracy

Becoming a very serious crime according to authorities because they aren't getting any money out of it unless you're a cop or something. If the authorities made a dollar for every pirated thing they'd shut up and direct our attention to reducing citizen benefits because they don't make any money out of it either.

Piracy is a crime because the government doesn't get any money out of it.

rectal piracy

Action. To engage in the act of stealing a man's anal virginity without his prior consent. A good old fashioned ass-raping.

Ever since George woke up with a tube sock hanging out of his ass, he has suspected his roomate of rectal piracy.

Piracy

Image you could had anything you wanted for free, anywhere, anytime, as much as you want, pissing off corporative sluts in the process, without needing a gun.

Now imagine you are not a spoiled rich kid like in the above example and you didn't had to ask your fathers for everything, but instead, just turning up your computer and getting a p2p program, that's Piracy baby, it's illegal since they can't tax you.

I can't believe i got 100gbs of music, videogames and movies and didn't payed a single penny, i feel bad for those multi-millionarie bussiness mans, but oh well, piracy has it cons.

An unintended consequence of tormenting clients with DRM

I paid for this software. WTF is this DRM shit slowing software load times and impairing MY use of MY hardware. I wonder if it has been cracked.... oh good, now I can use my software without this gay drm fucking me. Thanks piracy!

DRM rapes users turning them to piracy for relief

Piracy liberates software of shitty code for paying clients

Piracy that deprives the producer of just compensation, however, is wrong.
