I'm not sure that's irony. Just an plain error on my part, which you're right to point out. Piracy is also a pejorative label for copyright infringement.

Crashing your car is an error. Crashing your car while lecturing someone else about safe driving is irony.

In this case it seemed like you were making a point about the strict legal sense of a word, but misusing a different legal term to do so.

You're describing hypocrisy.

Irony is the opposite of what you’d expect, or incongruity between what is expected and what occurs. I expect someone lecturing on safe driving to…well, know how to drive safely.

Hypocrisy requires deception, not ignorance.
