I'm of that 25%.
Honestly my reasons for supporting Piracy on all fronts have actually shifted over time to the point where I do have a moral defense of my position.
It's short, Content in it's official form is often deliberately under produced in order to harness the benefits of Artifical scarcity. Even though it could be produced at wider and expected scale Greed gets in the way- This is all well and good for awhile honestly but the ramifications end up biting Society in the ass in the long run. Piracy is a moral good because it has a perservative unintended consequence but still this is good.
What do I mean? All of our Storage mediums including HDD and Solid State Drives experience decay.
If nothing else what Piracy has done so far by digitizing so much is make it very difficult to scrub from the internet, The oldeest torrents are now over 20 years old and are still running and stil seeded.
In fact there was a number of years ago a huge activist push to reseed a lot of old content in order to bring the health of Older torrents back up.
In essence I might be in violation of Copyright law, but I am a Librarian of sorts, and an Archivist.
Occasionally this means I have to resplace an HDD, because they will fail eventually.
i'm now a voice in defense of Copyright Infringement. Very vocally. I run apologetics for it.
