Their submission to the EU's piracy watchlist places the open source tool in the same category as illegal downloading websites.

    It’s not piracy anyway even if that worked as the owner isn’t being deprived of what they own.

      That’s not what piracy is, though. That’s why piracy isn’t theft.

        Piracy is an act of robbery on the high seas.

        Robbery is larceny from the person or presence of another by violence or threat.

        Larceny is the unlawful taking of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it permanently.

          In this context, we are referring to the “Copyright or patent infringement” definition, which is not theft.
