"Most people aren't pirates..."

To me, that statement is completely laughable. I don't know a single person who, by today's definition of it, isn't a pirate. That includes my entire family going back as far as I can remember. My parents have never even owned a computer, but that hasn't stopped them from requesting me to find them something they want such as a movie or cd. I know for a fact that my mom has given copies of CDs, and before that cassettes, to her siblings. Hell, even my grandmother and great grandmother used to make copies of recipes and give them to their friends. I'm sure those recipes, or at least the cookbooks they were printed in, were copyrighted by somebody. The idea that this type of copyright infringement running rampant is something new is just flat out wrong. People share things they like with their friends. They always have. Period. It's human nature.
