I'm not sure why your experience would make the analogy less valid. It wasn't about saying sex was ok. It was about handling problems in a manner that didn't cause kids to reject your advice. Being respectable and trustworthy.
It was about how browbeating and trying to paint people in the worst light might feel good emotionally, but it seldom has positive results.
As for ways to deal with piracy rationally, I think a lot of people have offered some good suggestions. I just wish the responses wouldn't be to indiscriminately accuse them of rationalizing or imposing on publishers rights, even when they are doing neither.
