There's nuance in the pirate ranks my dude. Some people don't really believe in property rights at all, some people think that piracy is acceptable when you can't afford/obtain the original, some just like to try before they buy.

Some think it's ok for them to steal but not for them to be stolen from.

Edit: dont shoot the messenger
