It's entirely related. You offered:

No data stating "piracy is bad", therefor no reason to "do anything against it."

I countered if there's no data stating "crime (specifically burglary) is bad", therefor no reason to "do anything about it" by the same logic. But I still lock my door; I still "do something about it" so I reject your logic.

Still, we all have our pet beliefs, or at least suspiscions. I suspect NSAIDs to increased risk of MIs and tell people so, even though the data is still inconclusive. (Well, it's conclusive in one study, but more studies are needed.)
