I feel piracy today is pretty morally excused.

So by this logic if the supermarket increased the price of bananas beyond a certain arbitrary threshold you set it becomes okay to steal them? As opposed to, shopping elsewhere, or not eating bananas.

No. Because pirating media is no where equivalent to stealing bananas.

Stealing a banana deprives the store of the banana and the revenue from the sale of the banana.

Pirating media does not deprive anyone of anything. And no, pirated media does not equal lost sale. It does not remove the media from the streaming site nor does it prevent the streaming site from profiting from the piece of media.

People need to stop making this analogy as is does not work for digital media.
