This isn't piracy though. They aren't consuming media. They are reselling it. They aren't downloading a film to watch or "illegally" accessing a text. They are using the unpaid labour of other humans as *their* product and will gouge the rest of society for it through entertainment media, civil infrastructure and healthcare. Whilst your pithy, cliched statement is fun to throw around when we talk about torrenting a marvel movie, it's completely useless in this context.

But surely something has to be said for taking ones work, repackaging it, claiming it's yours, and selling it as a product, no? Point being that I think *just* calling it "piracy" seems a bit reductive...
