Conversation #1: Is it ethical to pirate music?

Conversation #2: Is it ethical to sue $exorbitant for pirating music?

Why does conversation #1 always turn into conversation #2?

Haha! True. But it's frustrating for me to ask: "Is it ethical to pirate music?" and the direct answer to be "It is wrong to sue people for tons of money for pirating music." That's a complete non sequitur.
