My initial reaction was the same, then I thought: "no, we need more of this".

We need more discussion about copyright in our society, and we need it most in front of those who are unaware, inattentive, or would otherwise shirk that discussion. Posting a relevant link in a relevant discussion appears as good an avenue as any to get people talking.

Promoting copyright infringement in order to initiate a conversation about copyright is about as moral as murdering civilians to initiate a conversation about human rights.

Is that really the equivalence you want to make?

That's a rather severe escalation to me.

This... isn't a discussion about copyright though?

That is about piracy, not copyright.

I cannot make sense of that statement. Other than in relation to copyright, I don't see any relevant discussion here about piracy.
