Of course, I am against piracy, but I am also against wasting the most valuable resource we have, time, in fighting an unwinnable fight. We could be doing something productive with that time.

I can understand it appears an easy way to make money for some, but I imagine as soon as the first court case contests it, it will crumble. It's the fact it lacks that whole pesky lack of proof thing I imagine the judge will have an issue with.
I don't see anything wrong with Steve saying that it is his "retirement plan." If nobody ever stole Steve's content, I would imagine that his income would have been two to ten times what it is now. Therefore, his 401K and Roth IRA accounts would probably be a lot bigger.

If he wants to repair the damage done to his retirement plans by holding the little fucks responsible who stole his content, then what's wrong with that?

I do have respectful disagreement with Steve as far as tactics, but on overall philosophy (making thieves pay) I'm with him.
