After all what is a digital file if not a bunch of writing that instructs the computer to draw pixels on your screen.

A digital file is just a number, potentially a very big number, but that's all it is.

    Oh come on. What's next?

    "Child pornography is just a really big number, after all."

    "I didn't murder anyone, I just rearranged some atoms. We're all just really big collections of atoms after all."

    If you remove enough semantic layers, you can make anything sound benign.

    I'm not anti-piracy, I just think these lines of argumentation are so flimsy as to be entirely worthless for the cause.
