Defeat the fucking capitalists
I'd gladly support the content creators, be it with merch, Kickstarter, patreon or any other direct way. Giving the money to the corporate balls of greed is another story
That's the problem with your view... it's not theft, it's a balance. We need piracy to suppress some of the greed.
And you are also looking at things I extremes when reality is always somewhere I between.
Aside from that, studies have shown piracy to be more of a positive than a negative and those who pirate also tend to spend more than those who don't anyways.
Your enlightenment is a Google search away. Top result I expect.
And it is not theft lol
