But it does. Many people that are pro-piracy believe that once bits are purchased or shared anywhere on the Internet, they are "free".

How about the argument that bits are different than physical property and can't be stolen?

Now, the government believes the same thing and suddenly, when it involves you personally, it's wrong.

The hypocrisy in the tech community doesn't surprise me. I've been witnessing it for years.
