Oh obviously what this post is about is a gross overreach and devastating to a young life for no reason at all. As a creator I have mulled this. Did I care if people ever snuck into any of my bands shows? No, but we were never famous. Would I care if people pirated the game I'm attempting to make? Once again, I'm not famous or selling anything to the tune of hundreds of thousands, and, I dont care, again. If people are listening to my music, or playing my game, or in anyway just enjoying things I made, I think I could live with that. Its not about the money, its about burring yourself in the collective zeitgeist for ages to come.

I do kind of agree, as I'm making art for myself. But at the same time, maybe that's because I'm not in a situation where I depend on having to sell what I'm creating is what I mean

Thats fine, I am not either. But popular shit is the biggest target of pirating. Searching, I found one (1) game, an iOS game, that shutdown supposedly due to pirating. Here is the stack exchange. In the end it was actually due to a technical bug revealed because of the pirated accounts. So yeah, it has been a problem at least once before. But the frequency and depth of the affects seems greatly exaggerated.
