Yep, it doesn't make too much sense.
But also, piracy was a term coined  to make drm easier to implement
without people freaking out against people in power/corporations.

In all truth though, piracy is an extreme word to use for freely sharing
software.

I don't agree that it should be called piracy at all. Matter of fact,
copyright is unenforceable when it comes to the people that it was
trying to stop in the first place.
copyright was *ORIGINALLY...* to stop people from selling their own
copies of someone else's software and act like it is theirs
but now they have expanded it so far that it is now okay to do that
which is wrong... *INVADING PEOPLE's PRIVACY!!! *and you cannot remove
that part unless you reverse engineer it. Which should be a non-issue.
Screw *DRM.* that is all.
