Please don't tell me you actually don't know why pirating is bad? Would you go into a restaurant, eat a meal and then not pay for it? Would you walk into an art gallery and steal a painting? Some people will sink hundreds of hours into a project, sometimes an absurd amount of their own money too, for them to then sell their end product just for someone to steal it at the end? I don't put ICSTOR into this bracket though as he clearly isn't going to finish his product, and his patreons are just having their own money stolen from them. But in general yes, pirating something is bad.
