As I&#x27;ve said elsewhere: this is generally the mentality in the computer industry and attendant communities.<p>Piracy is only piracy and stealing is only stealing if someone is pirating or ripping off <i>your</i> stuff. You can pirate or rip off other peoples&#x27; stuff all day long. Information (other than yours) wants to be free!
