This isn't about morals or even law, it's about reality.
Reality: people download creative works and have no guilt at all about it.
Reality: this behaviour is on the rise and cannot be stopped.
Reality: copyright is ineffectual and almost completely ignored.
Reality: DRM does not work and cannot work.
Reality: artists will always create art, even without being paid.
Reality: sharing is easier, getting easier and is enjoyed almost as much as the creative work being shared.
So, now we know all this, how do you intend to turn back the clock and make the digital behave in a analog way? How do you suppose you're going to bring your moral and ethical beliefs in line with the reality you face?
