> People just like stealing stuff because it's cheaper than paying, and they want to feel better about being thieves.
Your claim is unempathetic and a far cry from reality.
While some may find the thrill in it, for many, piracy is also about affordability. Streaming prices keep shooting up, and content keeps platform-hopping, and even after paying for it, companies charge further in-app subscriptions and ask you to rent, and every “premium” tier is stuffed with more ads until you pay even more for that ‘ad-free’ pass.
With all these, it's no surprise people want to pirate.
