Obviously, you aren't thinking, or at least not reading. Nowhere did
I say that it made it OK; my point was only that comparing it to the
theft of non-digital, i.e., irreplaceable resources was wrong. As
long as you continue to equate the two, you weaken your argument. And
you make it impossible for anyone with a different opinion to be
heard, since they are, by your and SR's definition, promoting the
breaking and entering of houses as being OK, too.
There are legitimate points to be made on both sides. There is no
need to resort to dishonest analogies.
