How many more studies do you need on the positive effects of filesharing? How many more examples of artists and creators who support filesharing will it take before you realise that there are far more positives to this movement than there are negatives? How many more readers have to be locked in and straightjacketed, their fair-use rights stolen from them in the name of profit, before you realise that DRM and lock in is a bad thing?
Torture is much more straightforward than file-sharing. You straddle the fence on that issue and yet jump the fence, with a metaphorical hammer in your hand, when it comes to file-sharing.
Of course you can't equate them. Torture is wrong. Filesharing is a grey area, with many indications of good and some indications of detriment.
