Imma get downvoted for this, but for some reason I care even less than I did on Reddit, which I didn't think was possible...

Anyway, do you honestly think that if piracy actually caused significant profit loss it would affect the billionaires or anyone else in the "investor class"?

Of course not. They're going to use the ahem "loss" to justify lower wages.

I'm not saying don't pirate. I'm just saying you don't get to pretend like you're just hurting the class that gets to decide where the loss gets shunted. That's a wildly naïve view of how the world works. You can't fuck over the billionaires that way. They have too much power to let you.
