You're wrong. I've heard that argument a dozen times before and it
doesn't hold any water.
You're broke because the record company didn't give you a penny for any
of the MILLION copies you sold, NOT because *ten thousand* people
"stole" it.

His morals are his and his alone. Not yours. For all anybody cares he
can waltz into the RIAA boardroom and kill everyone if he thinks its
morally right.
Pirating of copyrighted works is very obviously illegal, but don't
expect to convince anybody who thinks it's right that it isn't.
