The flaw in that argument is that just because someone sells music, doesn't mean they deserve to be paid for it.If you sell the cd then you no longer have it and, should you wish to reaquire it, would have to shell out again. The South Park episode presented a flawed argument as it presumes that everyone selling music makes so many sales that one illegal download makes no significent difference where, certainly today, most musicians barely make enough to go by (in a pre-Covid world).
Taking it back to games, there's a lot of shit on steam that people wouldn't even waste time pirating.
