I'm a bit irked that many of the people who are advocates for and supporters of free-as-in-freedom software are also advocates for and supporters of piracy. Piracy and copyleft are mutually exclusive, because *copyleft only works when copyright is enforced.* If you're going to rip off the hard work of other people because you don't like the terms they licenses their services and products under, you have no right to be upset when those same people rip off the work of FOSS devs because they don't like the terms they license their services and products under. If you're going to stand with libre software, you must also stand against piracy.
