I'll go straight to the point:

Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content

This is true.

Piracy exists as a functional alternative to corporate distribution. We are it's competitors and they should be required to innovate around making content easy to access.

When Digital Content is impractical to access; it is over-engineered and it deserves to rot on the vine
