We, the human race, made up property. And we made up intellectual property. So if you want to argue to me about morality and legality, save it. Those aren't arguments, those are superstitions and/or conventions.

Tell me why a convention should be observed. If content creators don't get paid, perhaps less content will get generated. Perhaps there will be legal consequences like getting sued by the MPAA or RIAA.

But, again, give me actual reasons, not superstition and/or convention.
