I think piracy is born from overcoming economic inaccessibility, and sometimes convenience. In the case of a hypothetical teenager I once knew as well as myself, it was the desire to learn professional tools but they were faced with economic inaccessibility. Subscription services has made that cheaper, but with the volume of subscriptions required one might think we should go back. That hypothetical adult now though doesn't feel they need to do that because the open source ecosystem is amazing with a little technical nohow, but they wouldn't have learned that nohow without pirating professional tools early on.
