You do some writing, I know. Suppose you were published and were paid so much per book sale. Every pirated copy of your work reduces your income.
I don't know what the going rate is, but let's say you earn $1 for every book sold. I buy one copy of your book and then pirate 50 000 copies of it online. $50 000 that should have gone to you now goes to me.
How can you not consider that to be theft?
