I make no claims never to have touched a piece of pirated media. What I do very firmly state is that I would never download a book that I hadn't bought a paper version of because, in my personal code of ethics, it would be wrong to do so - if you read a book, you should pay the author. There's nothing hypocritical in taking a moral stance on the matter, and nor does taking such a stance make one an "old fart" unless you are suggesting that today's younger generation has no morals - something which I'd be very loath to believe.
