I think you’ll struggle to find anyone here pirating from an actual artist.
On the other hand, i doubt i’m alone in being unprepared to condemn anyone for pirating from a gatekeeping, price-gouging corporate entities that abuse copyright law to foreclose consumer choice, and restrict freedoms of use that come from ownership. All while failing to actually reward the creative people that provide all the real value to their products.
Copyright should be for creative people to benefit from their talents. Not for corporate entities or benefactors to exploit those talents in pursuit of unearned wealth.
