      Uh. That’s a complicated question. I mean if I were to pirate something instead of buying it… It’d be obviously good for me and bad for the creator. But that question really is a can of worms. I don’t think there is a single, simple yes/no answer to that. Personally I’m leaning more to the “Robin Hood” approach. I’d have less issues taking and copying a multi million dollar hollywood production than doing the same to a small and independent creator. But in practice I might have done both. Copied the textbook my electric engineering professor wrote and downloaded the Lord of the Rings TV series… But I myself also make sure to regularly pay for stuff if I can.
