"Piracy" is pretty harmless propaganda, IMHO. Here in Germany, the
local equivalent of the MPAA shows a movie ad which purports the notion
that it is ethically desirable to have copyright infringers exposed to
rape.

Much as I disagree with Alexander's legal theories, I don't agree that
such propaganda should be reacted to with equally incorrect counter-
propaganda. In my view, what Alexander proposes is clearly copyright
infringement, and the fact that he primarily tries to hurt a volunteer
organization like the FSF makes it all the worse. But I wouldn't call
it "theft".
