alt Hacker NewsWhy is it fair that you get to be subsidized by everyone who does pay? Imagine a world where everyone had the same attitude as you and did not pay for any media. Pirates get to pirate only because most people don’t. So why are you so special?

Not everyone is a Kantian.

I've bought more media than you. Why is it fair that you get to be subsidized by me?

It's not subsidized. You paid a fee on every hard drive to pay for that drive to hold pirated media.

As mentioned, we all pay the fee. Additionally, I pay for plenty of media when it is practical, deserving, or convenient. The rest gets pirated.
