"I guess different people have lower moral standards than others, and that's always been part of the human condition."

Instead of lower morality, I'd say it's selective morality.

I bet quite a few artists (rightfully) feeling threatened by this phenomenon would have absolutely no problem watching a pirated movie, using an ad blocker, read paywall-stripped articles, the like....whilst this is principally the same thing: taking the work of others without consent or compensation.
