I’m at the point where “piracy” isn’t even a Bad Word anymore, because it always refers to pirating from big companies where there’s either no way to legitimately buy, buying is unreasonably expensive (e.g. due to different seasons being on different platforms), or it’s research where the scientists don’t care about their work being pirated because they don’t get paid for it anyways.
You’d have to reword it to something like “anti-digital theft” to bring back the negative connotation. Or have more articles about how piracy is destroying small businesses, which are suspiciously rare.
