Because you think hosting Lemmy yourself is the same monetary cost as doing a Google search.

And yet you can't fathom the difference between hosting and maintaining something, versus consuming something.

You really only think in black and white, huh?

Sad.

My computer isn't free, nor is my internet connection, nor is my electricity.

When did I call Google searches "free"?

Lemmy is free. I can self host Lemmy on a raspberry pi for exactly 0€.

Dang, where can I get a free Raspberry Pi and internet connection? That sounds awesome!

The instance I use... Is also free. I donate because I choose to, but if my friend can't afford to donate they can still use the instance. Nobody is profiting from it.

This is exactly my point. It's like when people call it "free healthcare".

Do you think Lemmy is free? Your admin is paying, and trusting you to donate to help out.

The claim was that Ubisoft called piracy "theft". Have they done that, or not?

copyright is a type of intellectual property, an area of law distinct from that which covers robbery or theft, offenses related only to tangible property.

Every AAA game company's have been for 30 years and still currently are arguing this in courts all the time.

Are you sure about that? Because it isn't theft, it's copyright infringement.
