You're a real puzzle. In some things you admit to being a moral relativist (torture), while in others you show remarkable rigidity (copyrights, willingness to give up personal freedom on behalf of some restrictive and bullying piece of legislature). I didn't say you brought torture into the discussion,but you're the one who questioned its condemnability.
And YES, I can make such a categorical assertion. I would never torture a sentient being, nor would I allow anyone else to do so, if it was in my direct power.
