When it comes to what is right and what is wrong, the line between is different for different people.
The problem is that due to the changing of copyright law, and this lawyer-created concept of "intellectual property" (how can someone own an idea or a thought?), people have less respect for such laws.
You see, most people follow laws not because they might get punished for breaking them, but because they believe that the law is right. When people believe that the law is wrong, they simply don't follow it.
