Piracy ...arghhh!

Piracy is the price of doing business on the internet. I know for cake decorators it is a big issue. Big companies like Disney protect their trademark characters and will go after small home bakers for infractions. Sugar artists get around this by creating Disney theme inspired cakes and buy the characters to place on the cakes themselves. But for most of us that is not an option. What do you think about this issue? 
Have you been pirated? 
What I have learned so far: 
I have learned that my ego is so human so incredibly weakly human. But I get up everyday and try to be a better person and artist . I try to remember to be grateful that I can participate in any way at all.
