Yup, piracy sounds better than copyright violation.
“Piracy” is mostly a rhetorical term in the context of copyright. Legally, it’s still called infringement or unauthorized copying. But industries and lobbying groups (e.g., RIAA, MPAA) have favored “piracy” for its emotional weight.
I'll also point out that the Nazi hunters were able to bring the fugitive nazis to justice because the nazis were declared as pirates aka "enemies of humanity"

Emotional weight or because it's intentionally misleading.
Does piracy have negative connotations? I thought everyone thought pirates were cool
Everyone but the person(s) affected by the pirates, I suppose.
Really that is just the hollywood version of pirates
