Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

they're not stealing food, they're copying something that can be copied unlimited times for close to zero cost. no one is deprived of a physical product

It still a tangible income you deny to the author. Go to a book store and read an entire book right there, and see if they don't kick you out just because technically you didn't seal a physical object.

Go to a cinema and record the movie to see what the staff says, of to a music store and record and entire album in your phone, lmao how people can't get the simplest of concepts
