even though its stealing more than half of the world uses pirated stuff including me and you!!!

Counterfeiting and piracy are stealing. When someone invents something, they get a patent. When a musician records a song or an artist creates art, they get a copyright. The patent or copyright allows them exclusive use of the invention/song/art. They can sell it to the highest bidder, license others to use it in a limited way (getting payments we call royalties) or not allow anyone else to use it. The choice is theirs. This way, the creator's right to be rewarded for the commercial value is protected.

Yes it happens here quite a bit. I am totally against it because it's stealing.
