Why do anti-piracy people often treat us as the "villains" of the story? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

75% of the anti-piracy discussions I see rarely blame companies like Nintendo or Disney and always try to talk about how piracy is immoral, and you should feel "dirty" for doing it. My question is why do people seem to hate those who pirate more than the bad practices of mega-corporations or the fact that they don't want to preserve their media?

I do not believe animals to be sentient

And why do you believe that?

I do not equate death or servitude with suffering.

So you wouldn't have any objections if you were taken as a slave and worked to death, right? Because those aren't suffering?
