Does anyone know about some notion about piracy as a form of economic competition? I remember reading about it, probably here even, but I can’t find anything now. It was about a conception of piracy as a form of competition in which in lieu of money one had to acquire stuff through more inconvenient/dangerous operations, and about how it catered towards a sector who would not spend money on the non-pirated product either way.

Maybe I’m mixing multiple things or making something up, but I did not hallucinate all of it, so does anyone have a link or info about something like this?
