Ah, Gaben’s “piracy is a service issue.”
The only time I see piracy as unethical is if you would have paid for it otherwise and it’s a small creator who will actually notice the lesser revenue. This covers very, VERY few cases because the vast majority of the time if something is good enough to want to pirate it, it’s popular enough that more than enough people paid for it to adequately compensate the creator.
Basically, are you hurting the creator’s ability to make a living by pirating it? Giving them less money when they already have more than enough doesn’t qualify.

Okay, granted, but only using the term “bogged down” adds to the misconception that the problem is too many accounts on the server. It should be clarified that it comes from a deliberate outside source.
They denuvo the shit out of their games, so it’s actually pretty hard to pirate them nowadays.
