Just because it's not a lost sale, that makes it right? It's right that some people have to pay for it and some don't (just because one would buy it and one wouldn't)?
"Piracy, for me is certainly not about not wanting to pay.
It's about the feeling that the money I pay mostly doesn't
go to creators, but to the companies in-between who doesn't
deserve it. I don't want to support such an industry."
Paraphrased:
"I want to pay, but the creators don't get most of the money.
So rather than paying, I pirate instead."
It's also self-evident that I was replying to the person who wrote it, thus I made no claims about what "all people" do.
Besides which, your statement that "piracy != lost sale" is demonstrably false. You could have qualified your statement with "in some cases" or "for some people", but such a trivially true claim wouldn't add much to the discussion since the discussion is about what one person does.
If you get 0 cents with piracy, you will get the same 0 cents without it.
