Consuming the fruit of someone's labor is "profiting from it"

The labor needs to exist in order for you to have access to the content you're pirating so yes in a way it's forced to exist otherwise this conversation wouldn't happen in the first place as there would be no content to pirate.

    To profit > to obtain an advantage or benefit

    The entertainment you get from the product is a form of profit

    no one made them produce the game. they could have chosen not to do that, and there would be no consequences at all. it's not slavery.

    Then no one should buy anything until we reach a point where no one produces anything because there's no incentive to.
