How many times do we have to write this exact line? “Piracy is not stealing, as the original remains in the hands of the owner. Piracy is simply making a copy and distributing it.”
It’'s not a morally correct act to be sure, however we really need to come up with a better terminology.

Absolutely, this guy doesn’t care one bit about anything but the cash and status.
