Then it will depend on the extent of the previews, I agree with you if it's a cocktease, but if they show what we come here to see, then it wouldn't make sense to pirate their work since both sides would lose. Not to say it's disrespectful too.
Maybe we have different artists in mind but the few well known ones I follow supply more than enough guro for free and even releases their old paid content after a year.

You're right, they would praise them. I guess what I mean is they should be thankful for the artist too, after all, without the artist, there wouldn't be the art nor the pirates.
It's really their attitude that infuriates me, though not all pirates are the same, I've seen some acknowledge what they do is against the artists will and asks for viewers to support the artists work if they liked it.
But for those that think "fuck you artist, I got your paid content therefore it's my win" should be "thanks for sharing pirate, and thank you for drawing artist, I'll go drop a like on your pixiv or whatever"

To an extreme extent, yes, I believe people should be grateful for rain and sun too. But anyways, artists are humans, and feeling entitled to their art that they explicitly said not to share is just wrong in my eyes.
I'll be okay if pirates recognise what they do is morally wrong, as you can't deny that they are stealing from the artists.
Sure, if the artists didn't say anything about sharing, then go ahead.
