    Is piracy haram?

    Something that is readily available online and can be found through a simple Google search, can they be downloaded?

    Like this might not be correct reasoning but if a company wants to ban a pirated copy they can sue them

    Websites that shows TV shows for free are they haram?

    Are apk haram?

    Some scholars, however, are of the view that it is permissible to copy beneficial (copyrighted) programs for personal benefit only, without using them as means of earning profits or trading.
    Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said about copying CDs: “In my view, if a person copies them for his own personal use, there is no harm in that. However, if he copies them for trade purposes, this is not permissible since it involves causing harm to others.” [End of quote

    If i were to explain it,when i steal from a store like a bag of chips the store just lost money but lets say i want to but a new video games if i buy it the companie is gonna gain 60 dollars but if i decide not to buy it the company stays the same.now with pirating its the same concept if i pirate it or decide not to buy it both times company will stay the same only difference being in 1 i get the game and other i dont either way company gets less success but again it doesnt do any damage to them.

    Think other things like courses if i want to learn to cook and some persons selling a 60 dollar course on it but i find someone online who took the course and just send me all the info the course had for free is it considered stealing
