darran:Priacy is not theft!
via Damien
This is missing the whole point. Piracy is not a theft of the item, but of the money that the pirate would have otherwise had to spend to aquire the item. If you can legitimately say that you would not have bought the item otherwise, then technically the artist looses nothing, but how can you legislate that? An On-Your-Honor system of allowing piracy?

Oh, I don't know. By pirating that piracy image onto your blog, you're on some pretty thin ice, buddy...
Don't forget to calculate the loss in opportunity (opportunity cost, as they taught us in econ).
