Or simply a topic you're ignorant of, because coverage of cases of actual piracy is rare to the point of near-nonexistence.

I'm sorry, but I simply can't buy your argument that using libraries or lending friends books is criminal, while selling work for profit without reimbursing the author is acceptable.

I.e. I am categorically rejecting your position that "publishers are the 'real' pirates." It's a position I can't even take seriously, really.
