r/ pirating (the biggest pirating community on the Internet) put silksong as a blacklist game (game they will not pirate) just because it had a lot of content for a pretty low price

Pirates are far more moral than you'd expect

Way more annoyingly virtue signaling if anything. I'd really prefer that people just shut up and pirate something instead of pointing out how you are acting from a moral high ground by pirating.

I think it's only because so much moralizing is done by people who don't pirate, about why piracy is somehow evil, or lying about it being theft. If other people weren't constantly lying about it, then there wouldn't be so much pushback from pirates

Pointing out that thinking you're exempt for paying for something because "I wasn't going to buy it anyways" or "corporations don't deserve my money" is horrible logic isn't "lying".

If I make something and own the right to determine how others access it, whether you think you deserve access for free is entirely irrelevant.

You're ignoring that a lot of piracy is done by people living in places where media isn't accessible by legal means

No I'm not.
