      “You wouldn’t download a car”

      Well if I could magically construct an infinite number of copies of a car it’s not the same thing…not that I would ever pirate anything! That would be a horrible thing to do

        Sure. I can even spit extra on it no charge if that makes your day. Just download me a clean one afterwards will you.

        No, because you’re still tampering with the original product. That is not analogous to piracy. If you make a perfect 1:1 replica of my toothbrush, and use that to pleasure yourself, I don’t care, because my toothbrush is still in my bathroom untouched.

        If you can exactly copy said toothbrush and then clean your filthy bunghole with the copy it is totally fine, yeah.
