Then we agree. What I'm arguing is the idea that creators should be thankful for getting "word of mouth" from having their work pirated.
Should Harry T be thankful if someone sends him an email saying " Wow, I downloaded this from Pirate Bay and this is great software! I'm forwarding the TPB link to all my friends! Thanks and keep up the good work!
