Piracy: The Ultimate Evil or Something Else?

This will be a full discussion on Piracy, the pros, and cons as their is both. How Piracy is treated harsher than most other things. Considering how this links heavily with copyright, this is bound to come up. I don't think Piracy is the ultimate evil, the title is how media seems to see it, and I think this is wrong. I think piracy isn't bad or a good thing, in this day and age, we love to have data on hand, but we also hate how they up the prices of said data. I'm against when you make money out said data, but sharing with friends and other people, I don't see how this is such an atrocious act.

Not to mention it's well known MPAA buffs up statistics on Piracy, to make it seem worse.

We help the multi-nationals
when they cry out protect us.
The locals scream and shout a bit,
but we don?t let that affect us.
We?re here to lend a helping hand
in case they don?t elect us.
How dare they buy our products
yet still they don?t respect us.
