    With all this propaganda that the RIAA, BSA, and similar organizations trying to indoctrinate us with, I'm finding that the term "piracy" is being thrown around much loosely nowadays.

    The term for faking currency is "forgery" with fake currency being "counterfeit". "Piracy" has nothing to do with it.
