   at what point did people start using the word piracy to describe unauthorized copying of copyrighted material? was it just a PR thing in response to Napster?

     >One of the earliest recorded acts of unauthorized content copying was when fourteen-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart visited the Sistine Chapel around 1771 and heard Gregorio Allegri's Miserere being performed.[3] The piece's sheet-music was only authorized to be owned by three people: Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, John V of Portugal,[4] and Giovanni Battista Martini.[5] After having heard it for the first time, Mozart went back to his hotel and transcribed the entire piece from memory, coming back again two days later to proofread the transcription against the performance.[3] In the months following his transcription's publication, Mozart's fame for the act had grown to such an extent that Pope Clement XIV summoned him to Rome in order to grant him papal knighthood.[6]

     @augustus Apparently IP theft was likened to piracy almost 200 years earlier.

     Well it makes sense since he was an autistic savant with a 12 year old's potty humour.
