To be perfectly honest, I was lukewarm about the subject before I saw this thread. The amount of vitriol that's spewed almost exclusively from the anti-darknet side of this argument has now totally convinced me that there is no way that they can be correct.
It's coming close to convincing me that I have a moral obligation to society to strip DRM and fileshare as much as possible.
