By lying. OK I get the message.

Use lies and scare tactics to convince people to do nothing about piracy.

Oprah is a public figure so taking a picture of her and publishing it, isn't piracy. Taking the picture from the person who shot it or owns copyright on it is pirating it. Which is something we all do with Google images. Well most of us.

Putting up your own creative work, isn't piracy. Someone stealing the original GIF is.

I would be kinder if you had ever backed any attempt to curb piracy. Or did I miss it?

Does any of your traffic come from Tube sites that pirate content?
