You just sit and call people thieves. If you have something to say about copyright use a neutral term and say it because all you're doing right now is starting fights. I picture you sitting there grinning and laughing that you get a chance to fan the flames and piss people off while adding nothing tot he debate. And hey here's a bonus, infringement is descriptive, it doesn't get confused with embezzlement or shoplifting or larceny or fraud.
As I've told you before I will call it what it is. By using the term "Copying" you are just masking the act and making it seem trivial -- it's not. It's a big deal. Times need to change, laws need to change.
