You can keep the insults to yourself.
It’s virtually never the case that people genuinely can’t afford it or that it’s simply not available for purchase anywhere. In the vast majority of cases, people pirate because they don’t want to pay. It’s a financial decision that leaves them no ground to stand on and criticize others for doing the same.
Insult ? Where ? Trying to victimize yourself ? Are you a maga ?
The rest of the arguments are bullshit too, their are many study showing that piracy is a service issue. Netflix nearly killed piracy when it got out. Then it enshitificated and piracy grow again.

You would be surprised how many pirate due to lack of product.
Example I pirate anime as it airs. I do this for 3 reasons 1: as it airs lets me be in the discussion. 2: crunchyroll does not respect me as a customer enough for me to pay them to ruin the industry. And 3: a sense of ownership once I buy the BluRay of that season 6 to fucking 12 months after it’s done airing…

There are edge cases where you could argue piracy is morally justifiable. Those aren’t what I’m talking about here, though. I’m talking about movies, TV series, games, and software that people pirate not because they couldn’t get it elsewhere or couldn’t afford it - but simply because they want it for free. That’s the vast majority of online piracy.

Arguments you don’t like become edge case. Your using the propaganda book 101. Are you thinking we are stupid ?
