If the law is good enough for you, well then!, we'll all just be quiet. No one has ever used the law to do wrong, so it'll be fine.

It's good that you know what's best for all of us and are acting in our best interests by supporting powerful corporations. They're the victims here, after all.

Describing us as thieves is also an excellent, exemplary act that should shame us into behaving like proper consumers. The rest of us aren't able to distinguish right from wrong, nor can we possibly develop an ethical understanding of things greater than the profit motive; we're just doing bad, bad things 'cuz we're bad, bad people.

ps: The logical flaws in your argument are too massive to go into. Really. It's not a Ferrari if it's not made by Ferrari? Then any copy of an eBook is not the eBook that people are claiming copyright on, because it wasn't made by the author! So where's the crime? I could go on, but it's really not worth it.
