Very interesting discussion going on here.
Just to add to it... Is it wrong to steal something from someone that that someone has stolen? In other words, if the thing which you are "stealing" didn't really belong to the person whom it was stolen from, and, if they had obtained it by illegal means, and, if you were doing it to right a wrong, would it still be stealing...
Now getting back to the topic of this thread, not only had pirating apparently happened, but the pirates then apparently deliberately profited from their plunder. They then apparently had the audacity to react in mock outrage at such behaviour on the part of others...
