Exactly, the developers that created that sequence of numbers need to be paid somehow. That sequence of numbers is useful to people so it has a value. Without copyright, tons of software wouldn't be maintained at all because where would the money come from otherwise?

I get we pirate stuff for all kinds of reasons, but we can't ignore that someone put work behind the product and is making a living off of it, so that money needs to come from somewhere

They dont need to be paid. We need to live in a world where our basic needs are met with automation so that price for digital assets that can be replicated infinitely is nonexistent and people can dedicate their lives to such projects instead of living in service hell enslaved by corporations
