People want at the same time that wages are higher but they also do not want to pay, for example, software developers appropriately.

No one wants to be part of the problem, though. So some people justify their copyright infringing by claiming it's some sort of movement for justice and rebellion against corporations.

Have you ever bought something online (movies, games) that you can't save/download and then the company you have the money to removed that? That is stealing from you. Simple.
