you're just leeching off from someone else's hard work

so are the people profiting from said work. the owners of the business keep the revenue, they don't give it to the people who did the hard work.

justifying the expropriation of surplus value through tired liberal platitudes - it's almost like someone wrote a book 200 years ago explaining in gratuitous detail why you're wrong.

because that's the business model, they're the ones who have to put in place a workplace, assemble a team, acquire resources and so on

Bootlickers like you also make this claim to justify insulin having thousands of percent markup from the cost of manufacture.

Its just the business model for leeches at the top to siphon off all the value created by peopoe who actually do the work. This is why pirating is so awful. Think of the C-suite overlords and shareholders!!!!
