We pirate movies, games and songs that are made by workers who would undoubtedly make more money if we had bought them instead. Nevertheless we justify piracy by saying that intellectual property is unjust and exploitative.

So wouldn't the same logic apply to OnlyFans? There is currently a movement where people are subscribing to OnlyFans, uploading all the content on porn sites and then unsubscribing. I'm seeing this get criticized, but it's the same things as piracy right? Those who do want to pay will pay, while those who pirate are those who never would have paid in the first place.

      How are those two things contradictory? Producing and selling porn is no different from making and selling other media. So IF it is wrong to pirate sex-work, it is wrong to pirate other stuff too. You cannot place porn above other things. This argument does not depend on mine or your opinion on the morality of piracy.

        Yeah game devs usually aren’t killed or sexually assaulted routinely in their field of work like sex workers are, so I would say they are more exploited than those workers.

          I'm specifically talking about porn. Obviously my argument would make no sense when it comes to physical sex work, as you can't pirate that.
