Just imagine, people whose livelihoods are based on the creation of  
intellectual property, but who can still grasp that copyright  
infringement and theft are distinct yet morally questionable types of  
behaviour. Sort of like speeding and running red lights are both  
wrong, but they’re not the same damn thing, and depending on the  
situation one or the other may be more or less reprehensible.

This thread is incredibly tedious, why am I even posting?
