Where did he say this? I can't find it anywhere. I don't pretend to be doing good (and to be honest I barely ever pirate anymore; most content to me nowadays is not worth consuming), but I don't pretend to be doing bad either.

at the most basic level I'm taking something someone made and enjoying it without paying for it. I don't pretend to be moral while doing so, because I'm not an ass.

(See the zero-sum point above.)I don't pretend to be doing good (and to be honest I barely ever pirate anymore; most content to me nowadays is not worth consuming), but I don't pretend to be doing bad either.
