Feel free to call it whatever you want. I will call it piracy because most people do.
EDIT: Interestingly, the first recorded usage of "pirate" to imply copyright infringement is from 1913, talking about "pirate broadcasts".

- blowski 4y agoWow! I took the 1913 date from the Etymology dictionary, so I'm surprised it goes back another 100 years before that.
