Political correctness encouraging piracy

[caiusbeerquitius]

I don't understand why this issue is thought to be influenced by political correctness?

Well, based on a sound half-knowledge it really may seem as a possible reason. People that do not know a lot about a certain topic tend to connect their world-view with a oversimplified version of explanation to problems they are not able to - or too uninformed to - understand. Psychologically not really news, that.

Or, explained in an easier-to-understand-way:
1. Know that there is an all-round-evil
2. Certain problem recognised
3. Make all-round-evil responsible for problem

Teleological problem solution, that is. It is the easiest way for the human mind to solve problems which it encounters in social life or in the individuum-society conflict. As such, it is not too bad, everybody does it now and then.
Only if it leads to a crusade-mentality, where people actually start to BELIEVE in these things and start proselytizing them, the "facts" should become quite questionable, and should, indeed, be questioned by the social environment.
