Not hypothetical money you think you might have been entitled to. The truth is, not a single cent was stolen from you.

did you extract the value of the entertainment without providing the fee? That's stealing money from me.

If you weren't gonna watch it, don't watch. The argument being made is you in fact, do want to watch it, you just don't wanna pay for it. That's stealing.

If it's any consolation to you, I've almost certainly never seen a movie with you in it.

Did you steal any content that was behind a paywall? If you did, you have taken money out of my industry and made it more difficult for it to be a viable career path in the future.

Your industry pretty much stopped making movies I care about, so I don't care if your industry curls up in a ball and dies.
