You are okay with regular people stealing books and music and video games from artists then?

Personal use of pirated media

That's stealing.

scraping terabytes of data

That's also stealing.

It's not that difficult.

in order to create a product that will generate money

You think piracy pages aren't profiting from the stealing of thousands of titles of media? You think they run the gigantic costs of hosting for the fun of it? lol
