Yeah, it's a gray area, for sure. I'd hate to be a writer or software developer in these times of "fine lines".
I miss the days when I believed that things were either right or wrong - period. Too many questions today ..... or maybe not?
Maybe it really IS as simple as it seems.
We all cheat alot - admit it. From copying cassette tapes to selling CD's of "cover" tunes at performances. If you want to split hairs - there are PLENTY to split.
In the end ...... only YOU have to deal with your actions. Be prepared to accept the consequences.... no matter what you do.
I just think it's silly to complain about something that we all KNOW is wrong.
