It’s really not, and evidently you don’t know jack shit about the discussions, studies, and history in piracy. If you did, you’d know that a primary argument in favor of the free sharing of information is that as we consume media, we effectively become free advertising for that media. So by claiming my stance is a “weirdo interpretation”, you are undermining one of the pillars that supports movements to make info and culture more free.
No, I’m saying boycotts are good but a weirdo interpretation of them which say piracy violates a boycott is fucking stupid

Piracy is a form of free advertising. And piracy can and often does lead to more sales.
To pirate something does promote it through word of mouth viral marketing.
