I genuinely thought this was true, until I got Netflix. It now dawns on me that pricing and distribution is the problem.

Same with pirating music & films. If I don’t see this movie I’ll die, but I can’t afford it so morally is it wrong? ????

If it's from a big company, whatever. But, if it's from a small independent team or a single artist that eats and breaths, buy it.

The RIAA and MPAA gets no sympathy from me. I buy all my music direct from the artist.

I'll pirate a movie because it's easier than getting up to get the DVD I own of it off the shelf.
I'll pirate it because it's easier than checking Netflix for it, sometimes.

Make it easy to find and make it not horribly overpriced and ill buy it. Make me jump through hurdles and ill pirate it
MrStealYourGiF
Including hurdles AFTER you buy it, had a thing or two with DRM so fucking obnoxious that I had to get a pirate copy to enjoy it.
Morals are a matter of perspective. If you don’t have money to feed your child is it wrong to steal food, without which your child will die?
