Loaded language

This template contains the following text in the "Low resolution" section:

... unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions ...

Using the word "pirate" is loaded language. This presumes that making unauthorised copies of a digital work is comparable to attacking ships, kidnapping and murdering people. This language has been pushed by the industry in order to frame the debate in their favour (see https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Piracy for more information). I suggest the wording be changed to something like this:

... unsuitable as artwork on unauthorised copies ...

This avoids the loaded language while conveying the same message. (The text after that is bad too, though – ... or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. – but I'm not sure how to resolve that problem.)
