If you’re referring to any of the major media companies the creators already got paid. Hollywood and the software industry both use Hollywood accounting so there’s never any profits to be shared in residuals.
Again if they want to be predatory thieves in their business models, it’s totally fine for us to steal right back.
How about the creators?
It’s funny because so far all the pro pirating arguments ignore the creators, the work they do and the fact that they have to make a living too.

Do you think people don’t pirate indie games?
Piracy ≠ lost sales. If they pirate it helps the creator gain a wider audience. Piracy helps creatives, it only harms IP copyright trolls
If piracy didn’t exist at all, do you really think sales numbers would be the same?
Nope. There are studies out there that show they’d have fewer sales. Look at what happened in Japan.
