Piracy anti-capitalism. And while it may cost someone something to send a file over the Internet, it doesn’t necessarily cost me anything. And if capitalism is producing something and selling it for a profit, privacy is the opposite of that: taking a copy for free, regardless of the method. Thus: anti-capitalism

I think you are equating capitalism to money changing hands instead of the generation of capital. The glib version of my argument is “Piracy drives word-of-mouth advertisement which drives sales, therefore piracy increases sales.” Its obviously more complex than that, but I hope you see my position.
