Try telling that to Cisco

How is that a valid defence? Try telling the MPAA/RIAA that your use of The Pirate Bay isn't stealing.
Without even getting into the "is personal piracy wrong" issue, it's pretty easy to draw a line between an individual downloading songs from pirate bay and a major corporation pirating IP wholesale and then making a business out of reselling the derivative products.
Without entering the entire debate, I was only intending to talk about the "Ask the plaintiff" style. Obviously the plaintiff is going to think something's wrong. That's what being the plaintiff is.
Sure, I can agree with that. Good point.
Fair enough
