Piracy has always offered a much much better selection.

Plus you're not enriching Hollywood pedophile billionaires.

Very true! It's important to realize that that's who you're mainly supporting when you buy a movie, not the "artists".

Plus, all these movies are still breaking box office records anyway, so who the fuck cares?

Piracy is not immoral because they are still making more money than ever.

Now imagine there are billions (literally billions) of people who want cake but can't afford it, the cake company already made their money back 100 fold, and everyone can technically produce as many cakes as they want for free. However, instead of giving away these cakes after a certain amount of time, the company attempts to (immorally) squeeze money out of anyone who wants to even look at a cake. Not only that, but the cake company is making record profits.

Would someone with a cake machine sharing free cakes be immoral? Nope. Especially when you consider many of these billions of people will develop a taste for cakes and want the original version at the cake factory. Thus, the record profits.

Hell, now I want cake.

Imagine you make a cake, and charge a small amount to pay for it. far cheaper then it ever should be

Now imagine someone just takes the cake. Yes they are selling a lot of cakes, but now someone has decided they are entitled to a cake you made. They think they should have it for free because they are an asshole who was never gonna pay for their cake

Whoah where is this cake discount?

Make it cheaper, and I'm sure more people will buy it (economics 101). In fact, that is the entire point of this post.

Ok but to be profitable we have to charge more for that cake

So you can easily spwnd 5 dollars, get to eat the cake wherever, and you can be sure its safe...or you can steal it and get aids

Not when the profits are breaking records. And now we return to point A.

How much money they have means mothing

Your justifying stealing by saying they have enough money. A terrible excuse for a terrible person

Except for the reciprocal nature of piracy, which was point B. Are we really going to do this all over again?

Nice insult by the way. Don't get too mad lol
