Same as you, not condoning piracy. However, in my opinion it is very unlikely we are paying for "the persons who worked hard on creating this content". Sure we are paying for them, but I think most of the money goes to the person whose capital "worked hard on creating this content".

I think it's more like you create demand for them. I doubt any of your bill actually goes to the creator directly in most licensing setups. Or is that wrong?

So? The content creators don't get their next gig unless the investors feel like finding it.
