Not piracy but I appreciate the meme. It's like someone handing you a book with a sticker on it that says "don't read!". You rip the sticker off and read it anyway. If you didn't want me to read it, then why did you hand me the book!

I always take it as a challenge. Like “hey, if you can get past the information goalie, you can find out what the shooter put in his stupid manifesto we published for millions to read!” Or “hey, if you can solve the E-Sphinx’s Riddle, you get to read this research on whether or not we’ll have a climate in the next ten years!” Helps take the edge off sometimes.
