Some people have been using the word "freebooting" instead.


Hello Internet is a very funny podcast. But "freebooting" isn't a positive thing. Sharing is a positive thing. The two terms do not equate morally.


Well piracy shouldn't be a positive thing.


<insert funny joke about the Pirates of the Caribbean movies not being positive>

"Piracy" is a negative term for "sharing of media". I don't see how sharing books between friends is a bad thing. Why is sharing music and movies suddenly "evil"?
