I completely agree. It's time for all of the pirates to stop justifying their stealing by putting up the facade of protecting online freedoms in front of the obvious primary motive, not paying for content.

Steal if you want to, but stop trying to call it something else.

Does this mean you feel it's ok to take away our freedoms just so long as it's in order to fight piracy?

So anyone that insists that copyright infringement be called copyright infringement is "just a pirate trying to justify their theft?" That's a false dichotomy if I've ever seen one.
