There is a distinction between “This is how people justify piracy” and “this is why people pirate” and “This is why piracy is good” and “this is why I pirate” that isn’t that hard to grasp.
As for the article, Ars Technica is a highly respected news site owned by major magazine publisher Condé Nast. I thought the article interesting and the news important. We don’t tolerate advocacy of piracy at MobileRead, but that doesn’t mean we don’t think it exists. Again, not a difficult distinction.
As the OP, I’d like to see an end to the meta comments although people are free to go where the topic takes them otherwise.
