It is illegal and immoral. It steals the rightful intellectual property of directors and developers who are only trying to make a living. If you want to be a thief so badly, then rob a federal bank.

    Software piracy from an independent or small studio, maybe.

    Movie piracy? Everyone working on the film got paid for their work. What you’re ‘stealing’ is the profits from a megacorp that’s making more money year-on-year than ever before while still paying those in the industry terribly because they can.

    Your hot take is a bit flawed.
