I'd like the author of this post to know that to the extent that he persuades people that piracy is bad, and they are thus less likely to share things on peer-to-peer networks, he is forcing me to pay for stuff I'd otherwise download. This is not 'stealing revenue', but it is burdening me with expenses -- and at the bottom line, that's the same thing.
So I'll assume he's consistent in his moral principles once the check clears.
