>some of the “bigger” creators you linked here barely make rent with their workI wonder if anyone would have been triggered going on a crusade here if people ripped some dudes work instead.
I'll list some reasons that come to mind why piracy is a thing, and always will be.
>It's human naturePeople, you included, in different circumstance would steal anything and everything if you could. Piracy is just an inverse of the power dynamics of old. The have-nots are taking from the ones with means (or power).
>The divergence of modern day economicsNot sure if the "title" makes any sense. The digital age has divided workers / creators / producers like never before.
Ones who make their money through real tangible production, creation, or labor. There is always logistics, materials and lifespan spent on creating these and are usually only sold at one price, once and they are then consumed.
Then there is the new "class" that create one thing, once, spending only lifespan (especially with the shitty production quality most have) and perhaps a bit of capital to create a product sold forever, at unlimited quantities.
Current example would be, you record an audio clip, and fully expect 100s of people to purchase the same clip, and continue purchasing it far after its creation. With every "unit" sold, you lose nothing, spent nothing on logistics or marketing, research etc.
You effectively monetize a snapshot of your "time spent" sell it for the rest of your life and in unlimited quantities a that. Same can be said about any digital product in current year that has no need for maintenance or support.
Here you could argue that you are providing a service and not a product, but that's questionable. A strip dancer is providing a service, its a unique one time event each time while an e-girl can sell a single set of images for eternity with no loss on her part and no need to "pose" for each purchase.
