You mean like doing something once and then expecting to be paid for it in perpetuity?
Expecting to be paid for the efforts of others, decades after their death?
Redefining the legal system in order to prevent others from carrying out the, distribution?
I'm much more concerned about those free riders than a teen with no way to pay for digital goods, someone who couldn't afford it, or someone who'd like to keep the things they pay for.

The concern is pirating Game of Thrones or Euphoria. That's what's being discussed here. You can obviously find exceptions to the general rule of "piracy is immoral" but it is the general rule.
