I thought that this was a light-hearted thread about what we could call some different types of activity that don't seem to fit the language being used. Downloading a copy of a book that one has on paper doesn't seem like "piracy", for example - at least to some.

So, I'm confused by the idea of "trying to force the use of rigid language onto the current system" - who is doing that?
