To take a derailed thread further off track, I am so sick and freaking tired of the words "pirate" and "piracy" to be used to describe copyright infringement.
It totally disregards the work of the men and women who place their lives in danger EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. to keep our national and international waters safe. I work in the maritime industry - and to us - piracy is a real and constant threat. A threat that costs MILLIONS and shortens lives yearly.
So let's use words correctly. Please.
