Yep.

I don't think it's pointless to keep discussing it, because there are always new readers at the site, and discussing how people's beliefs about piracy, file-sharing and legalities of copyright relate to different circumstances & hypotheticals is (potentially) useful. But it does often come down to the same handful of core beliefs clashing against each other.

I warn people I direct to Mobileread to watch out for the piracy/copyright discussions, 'cos we have a lot of very well-practiced arguments here, and newcomers could wind up feeling attacked from several directions at once.
