Piracy ???????

I am against Piracy. You can only understand the bad side of piracy if you have created something valuable yourself and somebody wants to profit with it. If you are only mediocre you will never be able to fully understand the frustration of such thing as piracy. I think giving the author the respect and acknowledge he/she deserves is best for all of us. People spend much time in thinking and processing information to create anything from magazine articles to big music hits and software. They deserve other people to respect the fact that they are the authors. I have nothing or do nothing like you have mentioned in your three points.
