As this debate rages, I am struck by the absence of discussion about the right and wrong of stealing copyrighted properties. Instead, the discussion is framed around the rights of consumers vs. rights of property owners and the intricacies and nuances of the laws. This reluctance to dicuss the issue in moral terms is disheartening.
I see this over and over again as debates are framed in legalistic or emotional terms rather than in moral terms. The inability to have the discussion in moral terms, the underpinning of our laws, suggest the protagonists have list their moral compass.
