Technically I fear is not an accurate terminology. Pirates used to roam the
seas and use weapons to steal valuables or kidnap for ransom, or pillage.
I suppose they started to use the term due to the "sea of information" that
actually is internet, but technically the act of copying a software is
closer to making good fake copies of an item ( bags, shoes, etc ), at least
this is my personal view
That's usually called "forgery"

get so sick of people tossing around emotionally loaded words like

incumbent on me to point out that they are not accurate.)
So, "PIRACY" isn't accurate terminology? :-)
