Nice to see that Microsoft are doing something about those darned Somalian pirates.

Seriously, though - copyright violation isn't piracy. It's not even theft. Theft is the act of permanently depriving someone of their property.

If copying software is theft, then so is reading a book out loud, or more than one person listening to a CD at a time, or, heaven forbid, lending and sharing such things with friends and family.

Copying is copying and is only wrong and/or immoral if you are making a profit out of someone elses creation without the permission of the creator.
