75% of the anti-piracy discussions I see rarely blame companies like Nintendo or Disney and always try to talk about how piracy is immoral, and you should feel “dirty” for doing it. My question is why do people seem to hate those who pirate more than the bad practices of mega-corporations or the fact that they don’t want to preserve their media?

I also dont find these threads full of people saying negative things about piracy, but thats a matter of perspective.

In my experience, people who are annoyingly judgmental about Piracy irl are not the ones using Text-heavy social media.

In my experience, pirates who are annoyingly trying to find moral reasons to pirate are mostly the ones using text-heavy social media.
