As someone who uses Netflix extensively, rent movies from Amazon, and pays for Spotify Premium, of course not. Why would anyone care how someone else spends their money or what companies/services they support?

Why the hell would I care

Someone that looks down on other people for something so trivial sounds like a sociopath

No. Why would I?

Although piracy is common that a lot of people do it, it doesn't make it right.

People doing right by the artists and musicans who produced the said music /movies deserve a thumbs up.

No, but if people get high and mighty with me about pirating I will remind them that it is the record companies who make money off of the albums and not the artists. Artists make most of their money from touring or merchandise sales.

People doing right by the artists and musicans who produced the said music /movies deserve a thumbs up.

Do the artists and musicians actually get that money, though? It's easy to get people to sympathize with the artists. It's a bit harder to get people to sympathize with record companies.

Does it count as supporting the artist if you aren't buying the CD directly from them or their website?

Artist do get the money, even if not the entirety of the money but still. Also if records don't get sold companies won't produce them anymore and this type of behaviour led to things such as the crap we get nowadays on the radio instead of talented people.

Saying artists don't get money from album/song sales is like saying developers don't get money from game sales.

Adults have always said that. Adults have complained about new music being crap for at least several decades, and probably much longer than that. That has nothing to do with piracy, and certainly isn't something recent.

I get that and i actuallt believe music has been going downhill since the nineties but still, pircy has made it harder for companies to contrct bands.

Why pay for 4 or 5 people that spent years and years leraning their craft with instruments when they pay one guy to write 300 equal songs on the same night and give them to a random wnnabe popstar?

It is part of the problem
