piracy isn't a thing, except on the high seas. what you're thinking about is copyright violation.

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.

Does piracy have negative connotations? I thought everyone thought pirates were cool

Everyone but the person(s) affected by the pirates, I suppose.

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"

File sharing is not that.
