The true piracy is when people label it "piracy" in the first place. They are hijacking a loaded word in a transparent attempt to make normal activity sound wrong before we're even allowed to talk about it.

That hijack is one of their worst blunders though as pirates are very romanticized in culture. They just made us look way cooler than the computer nerds we are.
