Piracy is stealing. Visualistion of it as something else is just stupid idea for poor people to feel beter with stealing someones property. Wanting more money is natural thing for somenone who work hard to get abilities that allow him to get more money.
So...
you consider that nobody should give money to F95 and his staff to keep that website alive?
Because they are stealing stuff all around...
yet they work veryh ard to keep that shit floating on a sea of troubles. And surprisingly, many things here wouldn't exist if this website and his hard worker staff will not exist.
So... considered to your vision, i m a poor idiot that try to feel better by considering piracy as something else than stealing things ?
you can't imagine how much piracy help everything, from big movies, to popular songs, to absolutly everything... Piracy is not only stealing, it's also free advertising. Many people wont know about many things if piracy wasn't here to show them what's all about.
you need a bigger view on what you straigth up lock as "stealing".
If piracy was this bad, we all know that giant company would have shut down every pirate on earth without problem. Except that without pirates, many things wont have the success they do have todays.
Here an exemple..
i make a game, no piracy. Only the people who buy my game legit will know about it, the others will see commercial, but that's it.
i make a game, it get pirated. People who buy my game know about my game, people who don't buy my game also know about it. that double the popularity, double the advertising and potentially boost the success in final.
Big devs and company may say they lost with piracy, but they also win.
