Possessing a physical object is different from digital media. You aren’t copying a car, your possession of it prevents someone else from possessing it.

Renting a physical object does not mean the option to purchase the physical object and own it does not exist. Nobody was upset with the existence of video rental stores because they also had the option to buy and own the videos. If you purchased a movie from Walmart, Walmart didn’t come to your house and take the DVD away once they stopped stocking it.

1 and 2 are obvious, so you’re either an idiot and not worth trying to explain every simple concept to, or entirely disingenuous. Either way if you’re going to continue to JAQ off then it’s a waste of time to continue responding.
“if buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing”
I’m still confused how this only applies to digital media. In both cases I am agreeing to terms of services.
You don’t see how “piracy” only refers to digital media? What do you think “piracy” is?
What you seem to are saying is that specifically and exclusively people who work on software, music and digital art should give away their labour for free.
Well, whenever I rent a car, I am agreeing to a rental agreement that outlines the terms. Length of time, extremely fees, and the cost of renting.
If I buy digital media through an online storefront. I am also agreeing to terms. Which in certain cases will see me buying a licence to the media rather than a copy of it.
What I am confused about is how it is fine to steal digital media but not physical items.
