With your logic how can you say something was stolen off the rape victim? They still have their body. OK, they may have lost their virginity but their body remains. No, I do not approve of rape just pointing out your logic. I feel piracy and rape should not even be compared. Nor do I feel the punishments should be compared. Rape is horrible and illegal. Piracy is illegal. Those who do either and get caught should not cry when their punishment does not seem fair. Ask the victim if the crime against them seemed fair. Piracy also can not be justified by claiming you would not have bought the product. It is still piracy. Buy it or go without. Anything else is breaking the law.
