Piracy
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Piracy is the sharing of information with all your pals, and is obviously the right thing to do in every free society. It was invented by a bunch of basement dwellers about the time of the invention of the interwebz. Piracy has rose to prominence and is used primarily by everybody except dumbass fucktard 13 year old girls.
