 Piracy is bad. But you know what else is bad?

Buying an IP, removing it from the market, and making it impossible to access through legal means.

Piracy is bad- but you know what's worse?

Sueing owners of legitimate units of IP for not retroactively paying for a tacked-on monthly fee that was never mentioned in the original deal. 
 @Chris Trottier @10a48eb0 copyright law is a hot mess but what are you referring to in this instance?

Piracy is not using a thing, is it charging rent for copying that thing.
