This needs to clarify digital piracy (even though the term already implies that) so people stop comparing renting physical things and spaces to it.

Make a copy of a car, meaning nothing has been taken away from anyone else? Me too, absolutely!

If creating legitimate copies is how someone makes money, you creating a bootleg copy deprives them of revenue and is thus stealing.

Exactly. If I bought a movie on Amazon, and Amazon stops existing, do I receive a physical copy/the ability to download my media? I paid for it.

I think we have to rephrase the meme here. If I BOUGHT a game on steam I do not own it even though I basically bought my own copy. I dont think rental or paying for a service is the same. They should just not disguise paying for a service as buying a product.

I agree. Amazon is unique in that you pay for each piece of media individually
