Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Pluralistic: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing" in c/technology@lemmy.world

While both are infringement on intellectual property, the cardinal difference is that plagiarism is stealing someone else intellectual work and passing it off as your own product. With piracy the pirate doesn't claim they themselves made the game, nor do they resell the game for profit.
