Peeps, downvoting is easy. Anyone has counter-arguments?

> There's no such thing as piracy.

There's no counter-argument because you have no argument at all, just a brazenly re-defined term.

A rational discussion requires shared language. You've thrown that out the door right at the start.

Piracy related downvotes are political. But I think your comment makes some sense: fighting piracy is fighting against freedom, for censorship and authoritarinism, a world where you might not even have a freedom to write a book to begin with.
