No. Almost all industries nowadays rely on IP. Nobody is manufacturing in Europe or US anymore. The most lucrative business of scale rely on software, logistics and other IP.
Most people who do piracy don't understand how their job also depends on IP in one way or the other. Their idealostic world view is incoherent. If you do privacy at least own up to it. You're copying someone else's work and there is no moral argument to do that in a non-socialist world.
There was a time when the same could be said about slavery. People's lives depended on slavery and they couldn't imagine an economy without it and yet here we are.
No one should own a person and no one should own an idea.
That's how culture works and has worked since humans have been human, you damn lunatic.
Copying and retelling and sharing each other's stories and works is what makes us human and differentiates us from other animals, you monstrously ignorant tool.
You're completely oblivious to modern day society. It's not difficult to understand that this idealized reality doesn't exist. It's basic economics.
