I get it, and I think we were both ultimately debating the morality of illegally downloading, not whether it was technically illegal which isn't the ultimate issue for us in this discussion. And just because something is illegal or legal, that isn't the last word on its morality. Which is why I went to the example of the garden gnome as a reality based and simplified thought, for what it was worth. So I get you. And I don't want to make this a nasty debate like power cords or tubes vs. solid state (tubes). ;) I have a definite opinion on the matter and I am sharing it and may come off as preaching it. I am a Latin / English teacher and I enjoy these debates as a matter of course. And whether downloading music is immoral is actually a discussion that has occurred in a class, so I find it interesting.
