I'm not saying one is just as serious as the other. Obviously, child molestation is much more detestable. The point I was making is that "some people" not thinking it is wrong is a meaningless standard. The whole reason we have a representative republic is that laws are based on the
majority (whether it's the majority of citizens or representatives). The fact that "some people" think a law is wrong doesn't give anyone the right to flip the law the bird. And in the United States, we've been in agreement that intellectual property should be protected since ~ 1793.
