This is like movie companies saying that me pirating a movie cost them money.
Absence of a free thing isn't going to magic some money into my wallet with which to buy your thing, I'm still broke AF.
My gramma totally screwed Intel. She never used a computer in her entire life.
Intel execs must HATE her
But it does take money away in other ways. I use GIMP for work which could easily pay for Adobe if I asked them. We just don't need to since we aren't doing any high-demand tasks.
Why are they entitled to it?
They're not? They don't have to be entitled to something to lose money on it.
Im talking about money. If the money isn't theirs they can't lose it. You can't lose money that isn't yours.
They kind of do, though?
