College Student Arrested for Selling Bocchi the Rock! Anime Keychains (She Made Total Profit Of 16$)

I do kind of agree, as I'm making art for myself. But at the same time, maybe that's because I'm not in a situation where I depend on having to sell what I'm creating is what I mean
Thats fine, I am not either. But popular shit is the biggest target of pirating. Searching, I found one (1) game, an iOS game, that shutdown supposedly due to pirating. Here is the stack exchange. In the end it was actually due to a technical bug revealed because of the pirated accounts. So yeah, it has been a problem at least once before. But the frequency and depth of the affects seems greatly exaggerated.

While a weird case, the title is a little misleading. It implies fanmade goods, but she bought counterfeit keychains and resold them (for higher prices).

So by your logic, if you pay for a stripper, you should own her for life? Or does paying for a temporary service not suddenly mean 'ownership' applies to everything?
Buying digital media means paying for licensed access (and to be fair, I miss buying the physical media because I got to keep it without interference, It doesn't change anything about lost revenue), just like buying a ticket to a concert or hiring entertainment for a night. That doesn’t mean you 'own' the performer or the venue—it means you paid for the experience.
Piracy, meanwhile, is just skipping the payment entirely. Hope that helps!

Its about enshittacation. Everything we "own" online only becomes worse over time and permanently advertised buys are actually just temporary. Hope that helps!
It's not about enshitification at all? It's all about the point that piracy causes losses. Nothing else. Of course if piracy didn't cause any losses, no one in the industry would actually be against it. Me, I'm all for it. For all the reasons stated in this thread for some reason. But I'm not sure why anyone keeps bringing it up, as the only talking point is that it fucking causes losses to the producers.

People need to stop seeing everything in black and white and put themselves in other's shoes.
I'm not siding with anyone. I buy and I don't.But if you were the creator, what would you think about your reasoning?
Hi, creator here, I license all my music under Creative Commons BY because I don't agree with the concept of copyright and want people to freely use and enjoy my music. I also don't really "sell" my work, I just ask for a suggested donation. I'd argue a lot of artists have a similar desire for their work to be spread as far as possible, and shared with as many as possible. Most of the actual money in the music industry goes to corpo suits who specifically want to restrict the ability for people to interact with my music, so they can enrich themselves. In the U.S. at least, that seems to be the norm of the "art industry." Greedy executives making huge bucks profiting off the work of creatives, while those creatives rarely see the same profits.
