Numbers are numbers are numbers. Since when did people own numbers?

Oh, right, since we wrote laws saying so. Just because the law says something is a crime does not automatically make it immoral, and just because something is a law does not mean it can effectively be enforced. Piracy is definitely not the latter, and I would say not the former, since selling "copies" of the work is hardly the only way for the artists to be compensated.
