If you read her blog article, she used to frown on a young relative of hers illegally downloading content ("Do you steal bread from the baker as well?") until he outsmarted her:

See, this kid is wicked smart and he's way too informed to be fooled by the baker/bread line. I stopped using it when he replied with: "if we're talking about a real baker who still gets up at 3AM and hand-kneads a dough made of honest ingredients...no, I wouldn't steal from him. But if we're talking about a massive industrial chain who put all the honest bakers out of business, because they lobbied the government for permission to produce fast food trash that can hardly be described as bread...yeah, I totally steal from them.
That was the first point he scored and it was only the beginning.

And the entitlement to steal (from the evil empire) rationalization gets worse ... fast.
