Even if the subject doesn't have money to pay for it, let's say it's an African kid, who spent his all money for a cheap computer and he is basically broke and with no job, there's no scenario when he could give money to the developers. I imagine Phylum and MM standing behind the poor kid's back and shouting at him whenever he tries to get some entertainment, legal or not.

I have pirated games. MM has probably pirated games. I would never chastise someone for piracy outside of a discussion like this. I know when I pirate something that it's bad, and I do it anyway. As I said, I don't count it as a particularly bad thing.
Why are you trying to villainize us here. I mean, this is a discussion for fuck's sake. And you're the one arguing on the side of TAKING THINGS WITHOUT PAYING.
If we're saying that it doesn't hurt anyone - what if I steal a coke from a supermarket? That would cost a few people a few cents, nothing major. It's not going to make or break paying their bills. I'm not going to make anything near a significant dent in the local supply of coke, even if I stole 100. Does that hurt anyone?
