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 think piracy is immoral but I still partake in it and I don't hate anyone for doing so.

It's like eating meat.

Eating animals is much worse than piracy. The livestock industry is far more destructive.

Some people think that bootlicking will make their own pitiful lives better.
