I pirate that which I wouldn't pay for otherwise.

Trailers and shit is the only reson I have pirated movies.

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? ????

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

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

There has been a study to see how piracy hurt sales, and it doesn't. https://cdn.netzpolitik.org/wp-upload/2017/09/displacement_study.pdf

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.

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.

I'll pirate a movie because it's easier than getting up to get the DVD I own of it off the shelf.
aShogunNamedMarcus
I'll pirate a movie because your thank you for getting a legit DVD rental is a bunch of can't skip trailer bullshit
I'll pirate it because it's easier than checking Netflix for it, sometimes.
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?

The moral relativity problem
NotAnIroningBoard
Depends how/why you have no money?
Alcohol, tobacco, gambling, drugs & guns. The usual suspects...
