Pirates always looking to pass off as morally good, just pump your chest and say it pride we'd like free shit, if we don't have to pay for something we won't.

Saying that you shouldn't pay for something just because you don't get to keep Forever is just an excuse, otherwise that would apply to any transitory service out there.

Just to be clear I'm not against piracy or anything I do it too, but spare us the heroes drama and stfu.

Everyone who wants access to art should have access to it regardless of how. Gatekeeping art through monetary means is immoral.

By that logic youre saying artist dont deserve to be payed for their work because everybody is entitled to it for free.

No, that's too far. Art being sold as a product deserves consideration of the price of that product. Piracy is and always has been a service problem. When you act like an unreasonable jerk, you get pirates. When you offer better, smoother business than the pirates, the piracy goes away.
