I agree that piracy isn't immoral in general but it isn't because capitalist corporations don't operate without morality. Isn't it immoral to harm a psychopath, who acts immorally because they are mentally ill?

It isn't definitive that piracy actually causes any significant or definitive harm to large organisations. It fact in many circumstances the effect can be reversed - those who pirate films are also more likely to watch them and to encourage others to watch them.
Without a definitive answer to the harm question, you can't definitively assess the morality side of the question.
