You can be against piracy, totally understandable, but your not going to convince anyone to not pirate media with this kind of strained comparison and dismissive sarcasm. There is a pretty obvious difference between copying data (which leaves the original available) and removing a physical item from a store (which does not leave the original available). You can still consider both to be wrong, but they should be differentiated. It is also worth trying to understand why people pirate, and addressing those issues, rather than just have snarky comment wars.
