It's a good read. An American perspective on software piracy.  If you 
look around other parts of the world you can find a lot of places where 
this kind of software piracy message is just laughed out of the room.

My own thing is that if I use GNU/Linux on the desktop it's hard for 
anyone to accuse me of software piracy.  Unless of course you hold 
extreme views of what piracy is or what it is about.
