Murder has a fixed cost of human lives, which is considered (by the living) to be reprehensible at every scale.

Piracy has a negligible cost on the industry, and contributes to a positive upward pressure on IP holders to compete with low-cost access. These two crimes are not the same.

Agreed, but not relevant to my comment.

Your comment is not dictated by principles. I don't care what the society says, their judgement is wrong half the time.
