This is like movie companies saying that me pirating a movie cost them money.

Absence of a free thing isn't going to magic some money into my wallet with which to buy your thing, I'm still broke AF.

    But it does take money away in other ways. I use GIMP for work which could easily pay for Adobe if I asked them. We just don't need to since we aren't doing any high-demand tasks.

    Why are they entitled to it?

    They're not? They don't have to be entitled to something to lose money on it.
