I'm not supporting piracy at all. I'm saying that whether someone pirates books isn't part of a discussion of a desire for privacy or the lack thereof.

Someone says he doesn't buy ebooks. Okay. Does that make him a pirate? Maybe. Maybe not. Why veer off into that when we're talking about something else. There could be all kinds of legitimate reasons for not buying ebooks.
