I'm not sure how credible Natural News is.

Then again, I'm not sure how credible RationalWiki is, either. [[Special:Contributions/76.106.251.87|76.106.251.87]] 16:08, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

"Steal this Comic" refers to the TPB-related "Steal this Film" and not to "Steal this Book" unless I'm very much mistaken. Also, it needs an explanation of what DMCA 1201 is and why it makes "getting your stuff back" illegal (it is, IIRC, the anti-circumvention clause, which says that breaking DRM, even for a legal purpose, is illegal; thus, getting your stuff back, ordinarily a perfectly legal act, is illegal if it involves getting around the DRM).

:The title of "Steal this Film" was itself a reference to "Steal this Book." {{unsigned ip|162.158.56.197}}


I believe the breaking of DRM is necessary in certain cases because the media could be associated with specific accounts/computers/IPs/etc. It is not just about the use of iTunes or any other media manager. [[User:Flewk|flewk]] ([[User talk:Flewk|talk]]) 23:12, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

I deleted the "license" crap. When you buy music - on physical media - you <b>do</b> own it. Copyright law prohibits you from doing some things with it - just like how driving laws prohibit you from doing some things with your car - that doesn't mean you don't own it. CDs, tapes, and LPs usually don't even have shrinkwrap "licenses". You only need a license to do legally restricted stuff. IANAL.

There's also System of a Down's album titled "Steal This Album" which is more directly related to the topic of the comic, which is music. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.215.7|108.162.215.7]] 02:06, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Black Hat's arms seem too short in the last drawing, or is it just me? [[User:625571b7-aa66-4f98-ac5c-92464cfb4ed8|625571b7-aa66-4f98-ac5c-92464cfb4ed8]] ([[User talk:625571b7-aa66-4f98-ac5c-92464cfb4ed8|talk]]) 21:09, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

The real thieves and criminals here are the copyright industry. They have stolen all our (humanity's) culture, locked it away behind legal barriers, extracting rents just so we can temporarily enjoy what we <i>used</i> to own. Not only that, but they are also stealing from creators and artists, ripping them off while claiming to be on their side. They are the scum of the earth!

A very real life example of this is the game darkspore [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkspore#March_2016_server_closure] check out the link for more information --[[Special:Contributions/172.70.126.149|172.70.126.149]] 13:49, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
