Piracy Is an Equal Trade

Even the more business-minded people around can recognise that if you pirate a game, then enjoy it, spread word about it and get someone else to buy it, that's at worst an equal trade, at best an additional sale that wouldn't have happened had you not pirated it.

A screenshot of a social media post argues that pirating a game can still benefit its creators if the pirate enjoys it, recommends it, and convinces someone else to purchase it. The joke is a tongue-in-cheek defense of piracy framed as an economic benefit. It is used as a reaction when someone humorously rationalizes piracy.
