On the article: Talking to someone who is part of the Pirate Party about copyright seems redundant. I wonder what line he's going to toe?

essentially what he's doing is allowing the pirated stuff to be his demo, and then counting on the appeal to draw in sales.

I don't see anything wrong with this. Seems smart.

It's not much different than the F2P games, DL for free, play all you want, but you can't have a horse, a house, or get into that ultra-cool endgame dragon raid unless you pony up some cash.

I really like this business model. It's working well with League of Legends and a few other popular games. You just can't sell POWER (anything that gives another player an advantage) or else your whole game is gonna shit the bed and be unbalanced.
I really don't know where to draw the line with copyrighting or pirating. I do so much of it now. It's common place for me to just go download the newest movie or music via torrent. I think at the end of the day companies will adapt with tricks and loopholes so pirating isn't as beneficial (not sure how you do it).
