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.
