"Patronage" is the traditional method for relatively wealthy individuals to both gain preferential access to the highest quality art available, and show off their social status.
In the modern digital world, piracy is inescapable; bytes don't care about restrictions.
However, if you are lucky enough to be relatively wealthy, you have the option to summon into being MORE of the specific content that you love - by supporting the artists who make it.
Digital content has property which is not possible in the physical world: that making perfect copies is possible and does not degrade the original. So for a Rational Thinker, it should matter nothing to a supporter of a artist that some other people in the world are also getting that artist's content by piracy. The only thing that matters is that the content is created in the first place.
ItzSpc is exactly correct: those of us who CAN support artists who make the stuff we want should do so... and then everyone, even those who CANNOT support, will benefit.
