Remember when stealing on sea was piracy. Always has been.
Copyright infringement is different.

Yes. Piracy in the sense of stealing from ships in international waters is different from piracy in the sense of copyright infringement. Thanks for that.

I didn’t mean to suggest that. I consider calling copyright infringement “piracy” to be propaganda started by the music industry to push their monetary interests. A derogatory term that conflates it will immoral stealing (and murder on boats), which way overstates any harms caused.
