In Germany we have this propaganda word "Raubkopie" for pirated copies translating to "rob copy", like a copy that was acquired through robbing, i.e. through use of force.
It is quite ironic considering who really ab/uses the legal monopoly of force to rob others of their copies.
- chuchana 4y agoSeems like an adaptation of the word piracy, probably to make the word more compact. "Seeräuber" - another german word for pirate - translates to "sea-robber", and I've never heard of pirates sneaking onto boats to make copies of things without leaving a trace.
