It isn't my job personally to worry about the employees of a massive corperation with more money at any given time than I'll ever see.

I pay the artists writers sometimes not because I think they are owed something for their work, but because I want to reward well done art that I liked. It isn't how I convince myself that piracy of media produced by large corperations is moral, I think piracy of media produced by large corperations is always moral because large corperations are inherently predatory on all public commons, especially when it comes to IP law. Just look at how they took away the entire concept of things entering the public domain from entire generations.
