Hello. Noahide here. One of the seven laws of Noah is the prohibition of theft. I’ve seen it translated into English both as “do not steal” and “do not rob”, I don’t know the language enough to completely appreciate the difference, I definitely don’t know enough Hebrew to understand it in the original. Many modern civil codes of law consider online piracy as a form of theft and administer punishment accordingly. But by logic, I would say that technically you’re not stealing anything – you just make a copy of something, even if you haven’t been given “copy rights”. Whatever you make a copy of is still in the hands of its original owner. So, if engage with online piracy, am I transgressing one of the seven laws of Noah?
