    Yes, there’s a million reasons to rationalize piracy to yourself.

    I think it’s fair to say that, at least occasionally, one of those reasons isn’t true and it hurts the creator.

      It’s just my impression of things based on what I’ve seen, but if that’s objectively wrong, I want to learn why

      And on the general topic of rationalizing piracy:
      Don’t get me wrong here, it is within the sellers rights to impose rules and restrictions about how the product is to be used. That’s not a bad thing per se.

      But some of these restrictions are just stupid, and only hurt legitimate customers.

        Sure, take me for example: I’ve pirated movies which I very well could have paid for, but just didn’t want to.

        Yes, I agree that sellers can impose those restrictions. Yes, I agree that those restrictions can hurt legitimate customers.
