This, to me, sounded as if you were advocating piracy of movies but not books. Apparently this is not so. Sorry for being "slow".

This thing quotes strangely. To "clarify" the movie and recorded music industry has people fighting for them but who fights for the authors? Not only that but any given movie has a writer, director, special effects person, etc. The author is usually just one person who has to do all of that with just words. So yeah I guess I am a little biased on the side of the author.
And as for Twilight, when the missus got into Roswell I gave one of those "young adult" scifi/horror/whatever stories a shot and wanted to dig my eyeballs out with a spoon.
Just had a BFO; you remind me of the Henny Youngman joke about getting two ties for Christmas and he wears one to work at which point she exclaims "So you hate the other one????" My post had less to do with movie piracy than it did with book piracy. If you wish to see it the other way, party on. Takes all kinds.
To sum: I care more about book piracy than movies or music, usually due to the drivel to content ratio contained therein.
