    Ok, what if the creator says it’s ok to pirate their stuff. Is that still stealing?

      No, of course not. They’re explicitly allowing you to have it for free. It can’t be piracy if they’re not selling their work. The entire premise is that, if they’re selling it, then the trade is payment in exchange for their work.
