So, do you think the "give me what I want at the price I want or I'm taking it for free" stance is defensible?

MR understandably does not permit advocating piracy. It is patently not an appropriate forum for the discussion of this question and its implications. |
Hmm, is that true?
I would expect MR mods to crack down on anyone linking to pirate sites. I would expect the general reception to a post "advocating piracy" to be frosty. I would not expect that it's completely off limits to discuss piracy, its motivation and morality, in a general sense. Such a discussion overlaps with a debate about the need for copyright reform for example. Something we've talked about on MR many times.
So maybe I'm wrong but I'd've thought it's acceptable to answer Mike's question.
