That’s a nice way of saying they’re full of shit. They want stuff for free, and that’s the whole of it.

It’s reasonable to not want to do that, even if it’s not the most severe kind of unethical or illegal act.

Not gp, I want to pay the creators. I also want to own what I pay them for. When I have this option (bandcamp, physical media etc.) I'm going for it without even thinking. It's not about the money. It was about the money when I was 13. Now it's simply about owning my stuff. Renting is not for me. If I don't have any other alternative than pirate, what should I do?

Sharing is caring. If I can share my money with creators I go for it every single time, especially when these creators are simply making my life better with their art.

It's more complex than "want stuff for free". Usually I hate free stuff as they cost in time or worse.
