That is a point, certainly, but it's not the one he's making. The point he's making is, "GOSH, I TRIED REALLY HARD TO DO IT ALL LEGAL AND STUFF, BUT THE ONLY WAY I CAN OBTAIN IT IS THROUGH MALICE AND SUBTERFUGE OH WELL!" The other option, of course, is not getting it because it isn't available.
Before iTunes, i didn't download any music tracks via peer-to-peer clients, because i simply wasn't interested in that sort of behavior. Somehow, obtaining data to which i have no license doesn't strike me as a hardship. The imbecilic business decisions from the Hollywood cartel somehow do not force me to compromise my ethics.
