I'm surprised this hasn't come up for discussion yet. Please share your thoughts. They can be pretty free form, as in "Have you heard about all the mp3 files off the Somali coast?"

well for me piracy is like stealing that is not yours..it's like you are going to the movie house, you'll get the movie using your video cam, then burn the movie then sell it to the market. and the pirate in that scenario are all those people who were involved in this piracy

So that would include shoplifting - even when people don't invade your shop with grenade launchers taking hostages to take some batteries.

What do people call real pirates, then?
