I love how, in all these arguments, "Do The Right Thing" ALWAYS, not mostly
but ALWAYS translates to "Give me what I want for free in perpetuity".

It's a recognised phenomenon - paying for software often affects the relationship one has with it. One feels a gentle affection for it ("this is my software"). The downloader and the purloiner don't feel this and have a keener eye for evidence of a purchaser's favouritism. It's their natural abhorrence of bias that compels them to speak out.
