    You have to keep saying it because it’s not true. I’ve known artists who have seen their work stolen. Until then I never truly understood the hurt it causes them. I watched a normally jovial friend spiral into anger and depression. Sure, pirating some garbage Marvel movie isn’t going to impact much. But you take that same mindset and scale it down, and now you are hurting real people.
