I&#x27;m not advocating for piracy and don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s generally justifiable in most situations, but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s really fair for you to claim that people that browse a specific website are at some certain level of status or economic-well-being.<p>Maybe everyone you know irl who reads HN is a hot-shot rock-star developer, but I assure you the people you know who read HN is not representative of everyone who reads HN.
