Strictly speaking copyright also means that the copyright holder is the only one that is allowed to either copy the content or grant permissions to copy it, thus any of us making copies of things to be sure we don't lose access to it are truly breaking that. But I would be a lot more conflicted about it if the system wasn't like it currently is and it wasn't almost only big corporations that seem to benefit.

If I create art, then copyright states that you cannot copy (and redistribute) the art I created.

I'd be bummed out and it would feel like you just stole from me. Now the people I might have sold my art aren't interested, as they already got it for free. It feels like the work I did was wasted, and I also lost some profits, the amount of which is naturally hard to guess, but still.

Story time's over. So your 2nd point is shit, and I wish people stopped making that. It's not biased or loaded because there are actual monetary losses to whomever it is you are illegally copying stuff from, instead of paying.

Anyway, I just pirate because I really just will not pay for 10 different subs to get the content I want. Never. Spotify is great, but as long as movie/tv streaming is fragmented, Piracy will never dwindle.

Just stop fucking justifying yourselves with shit arguments.

They built a 10 foot wall, so someone else just built an 11 foot ladder.

That is sir, the beauty of piracy.
