One might argue that software developers deserve to be paid fairly for their work.
That argument falls flat, though, when their products include user-hostile misfeatures like performance-ruining DRM and obnoxious in-app advertising, which pirates remove. By including such misfeatures, software companies are basically punishing their customers for not pirating their products.
Why make a version without the restrictive DRM and annoying ads if you don’t agree with the mechanics of restrictive DRM and annoying ads, you say? Hmm, that’s a real puzzler 🤔
