I'm guessing, but:

    So long as there's enough money behind convincing us to by into ideas being property that can be stolen

People are trying to make the idea that "ideas are property and can be stolen" more popular.

    that "American IP is stolen at alarming rates" doesn't sound ridiculous to most ears

Those same people are doing this to push tough copyright restrictions(?)

    piracy isn't widespread enough.

We should reject this idea by pirating things.
