If it's fraud as in selling it as the real thing then it's bad. But if they state that it's a copy
or bootleg and it's because of the lack of supply then I believe that it's another type of
fan worship. Like spreading the Ayu fever. To me piracy is bad if it's diminishing the core
sales of the artist because of fraud. Like pirates selling it as the real thing or just a little cheaper. To me as long as you know it's fake and the price corresponds to it then it's not really any lost sales to the artist. Because if it's the high price that it keeping a person from buying it then they would not be able to buy it anyway. So if they find a very cheap copy and know that it's fake but they just love the artist then to me it's forgivable.
Real piracy are those that sell themselves as the real thing and cut into the real sales of
the artist. (if people can't afford it then they can't buy it anyway.)
