I am going to keep it simple.
If the copyright holder is deprived of his rightful due consideration then you are morally and legally wrong.
Just because governments have been slow to work out what the kiddies have been up to does not change what right thinking citizens know to be true.
Neither is the moral or legal issue altered by the fact that measures taken to date have not cured the problem.
These are all scurrilous arguments.
(In UK law the term "right thinking" has been validated and accepted as a measure of where the moral line should be drawn.
e.g. The right thinking citizen would report help a victim of crime and report said crime to the relevant authorities. The right thinking citizen takes reasonable steps to ensure that they do not break the law and expects the law to treat them kindly and protect their property.
So for my American friends in this context, right thinking has no religious or neo-con meaning.)
