Z:gnu-www-ja-copyright-versus-community--c9f449-The term =26ldquo;pirate=26rdquo;/en

The term &ldquo;pirate&rdquo; is pure propaganda. When people ask me what I think of music piracy, I say &ldquo;As far as I know, when pirates attack they don't do it by playing instruments badly, they do it with arms. So it's not music &ldquo;piracy&rdquo;, because piracy is attacking ships, and sharing is as far as you get from being the moral equivalent of attacking ships&rdquo;. Attacking ships is bad, sharing with other people is good, so we should firmly denounce that propaganda term &ldquo;piracy&rdquo; whenever we hear it.
