Most people have extremely weird ideas of what's considered piracy and what isn't. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that's somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not piracy...
With the SD what you're talking about is reality but I meant it in terms of normies perceptions. I watched some retro handheld reviews on YouTube and it started surfacing videos about SD cards of retro roms you can buy. There's always people pointing out that you can just download the same rompack from archive.org, and there are people replying who say that's piracy. I couldn't make something like that up if I tried. Here's another one specifically about YouTube. If you torrent a song, that's bad. But if you use a YouTube to mp3 website that's different. My family sees it that way.
It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it
