I do think on some level piracy is more ethical than paying her money, but I still see consuming her work in any form as unethical. I think everyone has an internal line beyond which they will no longer consume or engage with art created by someone. Like child abusers tends to be a major one, or sexual assaulters or murderers. Not that these are hard lines that immediately disqualify any art from consumption, but I think most would agree that consuming art knowingly made by people who do those things is wrong and unethical. There’s exceptions as always, loads of famous people running around who do those things who’s art people love. But still I think that its hard to defend that, and that most people have a line somewhere.

By continuing to consume her work you are indirectly stating that she hasn’t done anything to cross that line for you. (Not you specifically, the proverbial you) I don’t think it’s impossible to let go of content created by harmful people, or that anyone categorically can never do that. I think to suggest that is kind of ridiculous. Like I doubt many people would seriously defend listening to and enjoying Diddy’s music.
