Piracy is stealing- but so is capitalism so it’s fine.

No, it very much isn’t. Don’t buy into the media companies trying to rewrite the law in their favour. Copyright infringement is not theft.

It may sound the same but making a copy of something is absolutely not the same as taking something. It’s an important distinction.

You’re taking away the profit they deserve for the work and effort it took them to create the information.

They only deserve what people are willing to pay. It’s like those scammers in foreign countries who push bracelets on you and then demand money for them. If people aren’t willing to pay $600 for your software, you don’t automatically deserve that money just because you said you do.
