i have never seen someone judge someone for pirating on the internet (at least not severely).

f!s folks constantly jump at people's throats for pirating. Tbh, the passion people display when it comes to this subject is beyond me, but it is definitely there.

I just really, really don't think the issue has anything to do with morality and the like. And then I go on the internet and see ethics-based arguments everywhere. and im like???

It does have to do with morality when you're so fucking poor, thanks to gross inequalities based on who you are and where you came from, that you have to choose between spending money on entertainment, and food. No thanks. Food every time. I could eschew entertainment and be someone's idea of morally righteous. Copying something that does NOT deprive anyone permanently of income (which is the legal definition of stealing in most places) because I couldn't afford to buy it anyway, does NO harm, and does ME good.

I speak in the present tense, but it's actually the past, because I now have a partner with more if not a heap of money, so I now sometimes buy entertainment with the extra money instead of pirating, as long as it's towards a small artist who could really do with it.

If JK Rowling donates to charity could she really "do with it"?

It does a extremely negligible but existent amount of harm to the creator/copyright holder imo but I tend to think that the inequalities outweigh the harm.
