I have never stated, advocated, or otherwise implied piracy was okay. It is not. I'm very respectful of other people's IP. However, I also believe in reciprocal personal rights. The studios are trying to fashion some sort of new meta-copyright in which they control 100% of the rights and you get nothing. I'm sorry, I don't agree.

Physical property and intellectual property are two entirely different things. Copyright ONLY exists because we as a civilization recognized that it made sense to create an agreement where content creators retained pseudo-property rights on IP provided we (the people extending copyright protection) saw some benefit. However, the studios have desperately wanted to change those rights and people like myself are not willing to relinquish our rights so that they can get more.
