How does pirating make a corporation broke? Making a copy doesn't steal money.

Edit: We can't pirate a company into bankruptcy.

You didn't pay up to enjoy the product. They lost revenue. But yes, it didn't "broke" the corporation.

You would if piracy wasn't an option. Maybe not all of it, but some of it.

They lost revenue

They lost HYPOTHETICAL revenue. Assuming that everyone who pirates a product would otherwise buy it is a textbook appeal to probability fallacy
