Imho, it's a mistake to assume one set of laws (or one moral code) is universally applicable. Therefore, discussion should be open, and people left to decide for themselves what they do in their particular circumstances.

Taking people's work without their permission is wrong, whether or not it's illegal. You can come up with all the excuses you want, you're not going to change the fact that it's wrong.
