The hard line (morally) on this is that it is a tool. I can use it to illegal things or immoral things or neither of these. The hard line (legally, at least where I live) is that there are fair use provisions that, for example, enable me to include text, words, music from copyright material. Many US courts have interpreted DMCA laws to mean that there is to be NO COPYING AT ALL. This directly contradicts both case law and other federal statutes. - martin english from FriendFeed MT Plugin
