Z:gnu-www-ja-words-to-avoid--559646-Publishers often refer to copy/en

Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as &ldquo;piracy.&rdquo; In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)
