I don't think it is off-topic at all. I heartily agree and so does Eric
Fling in another of the 'Salvos Against Big Brother' 

Quoted from this article:
http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/salvos5

"Piracy?
That's preposterous. Piracy is a crime that involves such things as:
Murder.
Rape.
Arson.
Armed robbery.
To claim that an author or publisher has been "subject to piracy"
because someone infringed their copyright is grotesque. They have
suffered absolutely no physical damage, pain or indignity whatsoever.
Their property as such has not been destroyed in any way, shape or
form."
