You have this dynamic where people think it's okay to pirate Lars' music, and Stephen King's books, but then they also feel it's okay to pirate the artistic works of those artists who do rely on their sales to pay the bills, not buy jewel encrusted shark tanks.
Don't misunderstand, Lars is a money-grubbing douche of the highest order (who incidentally hasn't made good music since 1990), but piracy is wrong no matter the artist.
