music piracy in its illegality is sharing, downloading and sales of unauthorised music. basically downloading and uploading someone else's song without consent is illegal, and listening/downloading (the illegal version) is piracy. disgusting people can still make good music, and some people are gonna like said music. listening to the artist on spotify or such is giving them money and directly funding them, and is a show of support. Pirating music is basically "this is good music but you suck f/ck u" and then in a way 'steal' their art. not sure if i understood this correctly but lol! |

pirating stuff can also be just to show a middle finger to big corporations who want to own the rights to everything "you will own nothing and be happy" so if you won't own nothing, then what's the point in spending money for things that you don't even own, so just pirate it nobody says that it's wrong to not obey the big bad guys of this world |

for me pirating is like how you said it at the start. Just going onto a site which has free movies or going into a Google drive and watching it there, or downloading the media off of one of those things to have on your own device. I guess pirating music would just be doing the same thing, but off of youtube by third-party downloading sites. I’ve done that before too (downloading music from YouTube and putting it onto my mp3 player). Since you’re not paying to be ALLOWED to download it, it’s piracy. Ive never really felt like I was going to get caught or that I was at risk, I think it’s moreso the sites themselves that let you do those things that are at risk of getting shut down. I don’t think that pirating music and media in general ‘excuses’ an artists actions as much as it makes the consumption of the art they made ethical, since you’re not giving them money if you pirated them |
