you may call it whatever you like -- theft, pirating, unauthorized copying, HD-filling etc -- but you're indeed depriving the original author of their money. How come you are enjoying their work if you didn't pay for them? Oh, you were not even interested in them in the first place? Then why are you enjoying them?

Yeah, sure. Nothing stolen besides months or years worth of work with watered-down sales thanks to it being readily copied in under 3 secs since published and distributed for free by leeches.

I prefer to call it hypocrisy.
