"if I find a way to obtain your patron-only audio without paying, that is also piracy. that affects your revenue."

It only affects your potential revenue, which can be anything since it isn't real. Piracy views/plays don't and will never produce an equal amount of paid views/plays even if the means of piracy disappear. This is enough ground for me to question the very use of the "piracy" term.

I expect this view to be expressed by distributors whose only job is to extract the maximum amount of money from the intellectual property they manage, but I didn't expect this from any given individual I'd rather subtoot because I don't think we can reconcile our viewpoints.
