I know this isn't directed at me but I just wanted to chime in. Atleast with piracy the user has seen how to perform it correctly w/ intructions and helpful tips and does so, it may not be respecting the artist but it is respecting the trick IMO.

EDIT: Please note I did not create that saying, I heard it somewhere but cant remember where. :)
