Sure you're talking about economical motivators, which I hope and fight for our Union to adjust to.
Until then tho..a person who steals from a moral high ground is still a thief stealing from my income.

Steam and Spotify have made it incredibly simple to just get what you want without having to juggle or manage any kind of bullshit.
Boutta go "steal" from you just to do it.
Games: yes. Music: yes. Books: yes. Magazines: yes. What happened to tv and film? Where are you all?
Let's say I want to purchase The Fifth Element and throw it on my plex server so I can watch it on vacation out of the country? How can I do that? The answer is simple: you cannot. So I pirate it. And enjoy watching it. If the industry WOULD provide me with some way to purchase The Fifth Element, get a high quality mkv or mp4 or whatever download of it, I would do it in an instant.
As I've said in the thread, for me the alternative to movies/TV isn't piracy, it's playing games or reading books, which I do pay for because the experiences of finding what I want, buying it, and consuming it is a superior experience to piracy. If that ever changes across the entire media landscape and games/books go the way of movies/TV that may change.
