Agreed. The tone of the article is correct, in my opinion, because this really does hurt the community. I think we'd have an easier time fighting things like SOPA, DRM, etc. if actual piracy wasn't such a big problem.

And if theft didn't exist, we wouldn't need police.

This is a useless observation. You may be able to effect a limited degree of societal change, but you will never satisfactorily eliminate the problem at its source. Other solutions are necessary.
