For me, this really depends on who we're talking about.

Is this an independent artist who is struggling to get by and producing art themselves? Then stealing from them makes you a douchebag.

Is it a corporation that fucks over small independent artists that you're boycotting on principle, but you want to still use their shit and hope that if they lose enough money they'll either die or change their ways? Then you're lying to yourself to get rid of cognitive dissonance because you know goddamn well that a boycott exists exclusively to show a company that you can get by WITHOUT them- and also you are me.

Sharing is caring.
Yo ho, yo ho, why is Sai never on piratebay?
Yo ho, yo ho, post your brushes away.
Yo ho, yo ho, Photoshop takes ten minutes to load
Yo ho yo ho, I ain't got $600 in gold-
Avast me hearties yo ho
A subscription to keep shit you already bought
Is totally bullshit & know it well we all ought
Avast me hearties yo ho
I'm making this shit right up as I go,
Yo ho yo ho
And I'm running out of words that will flow-

My point is: I am a pirate. I'm wrong to do it but, you know, here we are. Let those without sin throw the first stone- and aim for the occipital lobe because for some reason I don't go down easy. Shockingly resilient.
