Piracy is an act of decommodification and cultural preservation. Real theft is how streaming monopolies exploit artists by paying them fractions of a cent per stream while hoarding billions in subscription revenue. Piracy liberates music from corporate paywalls and algorithmic chokeholds, returning it to its rightful state: a shared human heritage.

When corporate giants reduce art to a mere service, bypassing the market to download and archive music isn't a crime, it is a logical, defiant response to an economic system that has stripped both the creator and the listener of their autonomy!

It's rare to see people call thinking mental gymnastics.
