My feelings are far more nuanced than this. Suffice to say I do not agree with you when you paint with such broad strokes.
Yes some people just want free shit, I think most people would acknowledge that. But when you get too boilerplate about piracy and don't explore the topic, you're no better than those who make up disingenuous reasons for why they never need to consider what they are pirating and who it may impact.
