Are you using black and white to mean a clear distinction, or to mean moral good and bad? It's not black and white to me.

It's obvious that copyright violation is not directly equivalent to theft on a black and white basis; there are clear differences, such as theft depriving someone else of a physical good, so under the "clear distinction" interpretation of your statement, it is plainly wrong.

And as to moral interpretation, it's not obvious that theft is always wrong either.



I use it to mean a clear distinction.
