Here's one example of this bullshit.

Rich corporations are turning the government into their thugs.
I am not naive - I create intellectual property and I want to be paid for it.
You don't want to pay? You don't get to have it. Simple.
I don't give a rat's ass about your example - it has nothing to do with the issue.
Speaking as someone who has created intellectually property both as a musician and a photographer, Piracy is probably the best thing ever for you. Especially for up and coming musicians, because it gives a far more level playing field and cuts out the greedy middle man of the major labels which many small bands have a problems with. As a result of this the music scene now is a lot better then it was even a few years ago. As a photographer, piracy doesn't effect you that much because people will rarely pay for photo's anymore any way.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
