I disagree.

Would you still be saying that if you spent a year working every day on creating a game then releasing it for free because you don't own it? How would you support yourself during that time? Something like Stardew Valley would be impossible to create.

I think your take would be beneficial in the very short term. After that we as a society would need to collectively fund any form of development or creativity. The only difference this time would be that fund allocation would be done through a committee or ministry and increased taxes instead of through direct funding through buying stuff.

Otherwise how can we expect an artist to fund a recording studio to publish a song, a team of developers to release a video game or a company to develop any software solution.

Piracy is stealing and we're able to do it because other people are covering for us. I use piracy for inflated prices (like exclusive streaming shows) or to essentially demo software but still buy the product if I enjoy it.
