      Unless you are part of a civil rights movement or something as equally just I have a hard time believing that. To quote Martin Luther King Jr.:

      “We will not obey unjust laws or submit to unjust practices. We will do this peacefully, openly, cheerfully because our aim is to persuade. We adopt the means of nonviolence because our end is a community at peace with itself.”

      Basically if you are committing piracy as some sort of morally right act then you should not hide in the shadows.

        That is whataboutism of the highest order. This has nothing to do with the 60s civil rights movement. You need to “hide in the shadows” because else law enforcement kicks in your door and takes you to prison, or at best you need to pay a massive fine. All this need for obscurity and secrecy does not, however, take away from software piracy being a moral and righteous thing to do in any way. Don’t let corporations feed you bullshit.
