While pirating music or movies, one may try justify ones actions, but deep down it feels wrong. This doesn't even feel wrong. These parasites had it coming.

Pointing out the obvious, this means that nobody is allowed to build a product that locks away data to where it cannot be accessed by the product's maker. And looking at it inside out, that means nobody has the right to absolute data
