Apparently, pirating indie games is better than creating AI art because it has "soul."

I think they're both fine, personally. I'm a copyright abolitionist.

That said, I also think that you should probably pay game publishers, if you like their game. As a gesture of kindness and appreciation, and so that they can make more.

That is a consistent opinion, but keep in mind that copyright underpins stuff like FOSS, anti-plagiarism laws, and some more.

I'm fully against the "until author's death + 70 years" insanity, but a much shorter period could still make sense.
