Certainly, but it doesn't alter the point I was making. You said that you felt that people did not respect the moral rights of an author, but only their legal rights. I believe that the primary motivation for most people, when deciding how to act, is "moral" rather than legal. We obey laws because we think they are "right"; we may choose to ignore a law because we feel it to be "wrong".
