The morality in sharing is a moot point. The genie is out of the bottle, DRM will only hurt and alienate legitimate customers, you can't stop sharing so you will need to switch your business model. Alcohol in 2004 caused many deaths but no
one (other than MADD) is advocating that we go back to prohibition. If selling alcohol is legal why not make copyright infringement legal? Oh right, because in
America it's better to lose life than money. I mean really, I can sell alcohol that
causes all these problems but if some "steals" my process for distilling etc and shares it on the internet that's illegal? Really?
