Why do anti-piracy people often treat us as the "villains" of the story? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

75% of the anti-piracy discussions I see rarely blame companies like Nintendo or Disney and always try to talk about how piracy is immoral, and you should feel "dirty" for doing it. My question is why do people seem to hate those who pirate more than the bad practices of mega-corporations or the fact that they don't want to preserve their media?

Thats great and all but it requires a self-first attitude to feel no remorse over stealing or causing harm to others.

Many addictions start with someone thinking they are smarter than everyone else and have ultimate control over themselves. I wish you the best of luck but your argument in a public space has the potential to inspire someone to harm themselves.

Maybe you should give some thought to why you deserve to make your own rules and yet still participate in society.
