What quid pro quo has been taken? Did the pirate take an object that
you possessed, like a CD?
Your copyright protects intellectual property which is an intangible.
No one can steal an intangible.

I do not work for free. But I don't whine if someone does not pay me
just because they found another way to do the same job I do.

"The scientist is possessed by a rapturous amazement at the
harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such
superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking
and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.
"This feeling is the guiding principle of his life and work,
in so far as he succeeds in keeping himself from the shackles
of selfish desire. It is beyond question closely akin to that
which has possessed the religious geniuses of all ages."
