As ridiculous as all your earlier statements. What are your qualifications to do this work? Are you trained? Certified? Part of a professional IT body? You said you 'do it on the side', which in the vernacular I'm used to means 'unregistered'. If you're not qualified and do this work without registration, qualification or pay dues then all those who are and have spent countless hours and money on becoming qualified are losing income due to your work.

The gate swings both ways on this issue. If you want to argue that by the actions of downloaders, authors and other creators are losing income, then I can similarly argue that an unqualified and unregistered IT professional working independently is also depriving those who are qualified from a wage.
