It's not always against the wishes of the creators. It's certainly against the wishes of whoever is making money out of it, and fair enough this is sometimes the creator but more often than not we are talking about a middleman, such as a publisher or big entertainment company.
When I see piracy is depriving the creator of revenue directly, it always feels bad to me.
When I see the creatives have been paid already, or have several income streams (and big ones at that too) and the only ones deprived of profit are the middleman companies.... Well...
All of this is overthinking to try and justify it to yourself.
Seems like you are doing a lot of overthinking to argue against piracy on the piracy community
When did I argue against piracy? My 28TB array of shows and movies begs to differ.
youre a fed prove me wrong
