    Wage theft is different from piracy. When you work for an employer, you are giving them hours of labour in exchange for the compensation, I have a limited amount of labour hours to use in my lifetime, whereas copying a work can be done an infinite amount of times without requiring an additional labour time to recreate it.

    I’m not saying that piracy is ethical, there are many cases where it is unethical, but it is not theft.

      Right, because content appears out of thin air.

          From the point of view of the person that should be compensated in order for you to have access to the content, it absolutely is.
