I read your post and understood it.
Why would you reply without trying to understand what I wrote?

Piracy/copying isn’t theft.
Not all countries see copying as theft.
And neither does the platform we’re currently using (Lemmy).

Piracy isn’t theft though.
That’s exactly what corporations want people to think about piracy.

In addition to what you wrote, piracy is also a form of dissent against copyright laws.

I gave an example, I don’t necessarily think that’s the case here. Just not a fan of portraying piracy as a general “bad thing” that is only reserved for corporations.

I’m not from the USA, and I do support my local library :)
But there’s barely any music there and even then it’s mostly local.

RED and OPS has things that are currently impossible to find anywhere else.

Plenty of indie content from Bandcamp on RED and OPS.
For some people piracy is also about archival and preservation.
