I'm not very young, but that meme doesn't hold up. I agree piracy isn't the same as theft, but it's extremely close still. If an author works on a book for 10 years and then the publisher copies it and sells it without paying them, is that okay because copying isn't technically theft? Murder isn't theft either, but it's still bad.

I agree that streaming services quieted piracy, but that doesn't somehow make piracy okay.
