I'm not trying to justify anything. As I said, I think that some copyright infringement is wrong - the clearest case for me being: copying a book by a living author that's available digitally, rather than buying it, when you don't have a copy in another format.
What I was reacting against was the label "felony" being banded about in a discussion about copyright infringement, which seems to me to be disproportionate - hence my comparison with some other things that are worth getting upset about.
