The logic here is quite simple: if you don't have to pay, nobody else has to pay, either, because you're not special. If nobody pays, then people who make media and software won't get paid, and production will slow to a crawl. You'll have destroyed the very thing you seem to desire enough to steal.
Maybe because I'm not so arrogant as to imply everyone has to have the same views and act the same way as me, nor to imply that my view is the only right one.
But nah, you're right. Nobody has to pay. Everybody should pirate.
Now, that's been true for decades, of course. So why hasn't the entire system fallen apart?
They are not: if they never travel to Afghanistan or Ethiopia, they will not be subject to their laws.
Laws change even in the same region, so it is also temporal.
And one can work to change the laws too.
But it does not make sense, you have your pre-defined opinion and you are sticking with it, and we do not buy your argument, so it's best we agree to disagree here.

How does this not make sense to you?
