Never said it should.


The public has the CHOICE not to use the software. Microsoft is not forcing anyone to use their software. An ethical person would abide by the EULA or use some free software that has no EULA.

An unethical person keeps making excuses to steal.

I don't steal. So what's your point?

The point was not to compare murder to what you claim to be "fair use" rights. The point was that there does not have to be a law against something to make it unethical, immoral, or stealing.

So the same point is it is wrong to steal the publics right to fair use for reasons of greed. I sure hope my Dr. doesn't decide that I have to die to stop my cold from being used by terrorists. Or am I now a terrorist because I gave my cold to someone else?
