This is the best argument for piracy.
I'd even say you can get to a pretty strong argument that it's morally justifiable.
Why is it any better for them to take something from you that you've already paid for then for you to take something you didn't pay for.
I'd say stuff like this makes you morally obligated to pirate
Well you see they're a giant corporation so they have rights and you don't!
The best argument is that I don't give a shit whether it's morally justifiable or not, i'll never get in trouble with the law for it, i like getting free stuff and the only victims are corporations and fuck them
Oh fully agree nobody should have to justify stealing from corporations it's just hilarious that even the biggest bootlicking civility fetishist would have a hard time scolding somebody for this when the corporations are doing something worse by any objective observation.
