I agree about the language (which starrigger and me agreed to disagree about). That said I don't begrudge him his view.
However, we've taken this thread a fair way from talking about E-read actions which was the genesis of this thread, and continuing to parse the whole using the scanned works/digital copyright infringing version has probably gone on long enough (with the breaking into people’s houses hypotheticals we now seem to be at).

It's more than a little naive to think that bringing up the subject of piracy won't make people talk about the morals and lack of morals of it. He only decided to move away from the discussion when his own morals were questioned, which is why he doesn't strike me as a decent enough bloke. |
I think it is clear that your perceptions are different. I don't think either side will change position so there is probably not much point belabouring it.. and what you may see as different moral perspectives for a particular case doesn't necessarily have to equate to judgement of the overall decency of an individual.
