This is an interesting argument but at the moment the laws say piracy is illegal. And they do so in a way that is super reasonable, no kidneys involved. The pirated works were created under this understanding of the rules. In other words, movies and games were financed and made at great expense and effort with a view to selling copies and tickets and making money off of VHS rentals / Netflix streaming. Piracy is a clear subversion of this, and by the way, if it became mainstream, would break the industry that creates some of the things we like. While the law isn't part of some cosmic order, there's nothing written in the stars that entitles you to every creation of every other person, at your convenience, for free.
