By giving the name of "piracy" to the theft of our content, we are glamorizing the actions of the thieves.

Content theft is not the swashbuckling, free-wheeling, romanticized face-to-face conflict for swag on the high seas of the pirates of yore as "piracy" connotates.

It is the cowardly sneak thief, stealing the food from your families' tables, ripping of your hard work, and pickpocketing your wallet.

Don't give these people any glory, credit, or credibility.

Call a ripoff thief a "Thief" and treat them as such.
