I'll go straight to the point:

  • Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
  • Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
  • Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
  • Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
  • Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content

I do think you should give money to smaller creators, if you have it, but i don't think thats super controversial, pirating is most effective against the billionares.

Forget effectiveness, the little guys rarely screw you over for their own greed.
