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?

    Same reason vegans hate on omnivores - they’ve taken the high road and the benefits are small while the cost is high.

    Nah, that’s not why we hate you
