I mean good for him.

But very few pirates actually can't afford shit. It's mostly people in shitty regions and freeloaders who don't pay for anything.

You have to be playing Devil's advocate for the sake of it because every significant study done on the subject shows that piracy has a positive or at worst neutral effect on the industry.
