When we talk about abusive corporation being unethical, maybe a part of us should see the opposite as ethical too?

And piracy is not even a opposite backlash, it's a way around that helps out a lot of people in different scenarios. I used to pirate games as a kid because I didn't have any money and now I'm one of those who has youtube premium for convinience.

And there are hell of a lot more positive use cases like sharing censored data and general p2p file sharing
