It does apply equally to everyone. The lemmy hive mind simply doesn't understand copyright law.

If I pirate a movie for myself, I have to pay a huge fine. What will happen to Zuck after he pirated all the movies and made money with this?

You’ve actually had to pay a huge fine?

That's the law in France, most of Europe, and the USA.
