Many of these piracy analogies are kinda weird. IMO the best analogy to pirating a movie is watching a football match from behind the fence. The stadium company isnât getting your ticket money, but youâre not even the kind of person who would pay for that ticket anyway, so did anyone really lose anything? When watching the match from outside the fence, youâre not taking any seats, or bothering the paying customers. Whereâs the harm in that?

I think itâs a false assumption that these people wouldnât be paying anyway. Thatâs just a narrative spread as a fact. Itâs undeniable that film/game studios are losing money due to piracy. Some number of the people who pirate would be paying for it if piracy wasnât an option.
