I wonder because if nothing excuse piracy then your statement above has no impact or meaning.

I've posted elsewhere circumstances under which *I* have considered piracy somewhat justifiable when the financial impact is minor or even 0, or where hardly anyone would care. I don't want to go over them again here. But I should clarify that I meant length of copyright doesn't excuse *blanket* piracy; in other words, if you think copyright should be 40 years and you're pirating books from 40 years ago, that's different from pirating books that came out yesterday. Unless you think it should be 0, in which case you're just nuts.
