Torrentfreak should stick to direct arguments for why piracy should be allowed, and stop with the analogies. I&#x27;ve seen a bunch of analogies from them, and they all break down given the slightest thought. They may be good for getting shares and views. They aren&#x27;t good for convincing thinking individuals.<p>(I&#x27;m thinking of the recent article <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;torrentfreak.com&#x2F;when-authors-demand-payment-for-every-copy-theyre-advocating-communism-151220&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;torrentfreak.com&#x2F;when-authors-demand-payment-for-eve...</a>, which doesn&#x27;t consider the obvious point that authors make it a condition of sale to not copy it. Almost every direct editorial I&#x27;ve seen from them has similar gaping flaws. This one, for example, completely misses the problem with copies, which is distribution to people who haven&#x27;t paid.)
