Yes, finally this was brought up. As someone who works in an industry based on copyright law, I cannot condemn a company that does whatever it can to stop people from literally taking their products for free. Most people who have a hard time frowning at pirates either don't understand or don't appreciate the importance of copyright laws and intellectual property rights. Go into a "big corporation deserves it" rant if you like, but you cannot seriously criticize them for doing this without taking a hard look at piracy practices and the lax laws surrounding them.
