Isn’t this discussion about that’s ethical and moral, rather that what’s legal?

So is it unethical or immoral to copy your VHS tape you bought to a BluRay disc?

Morals and ethics have no place in a court of law. Or, another way to think about it: morals and ethics cover human-to-human transactions. Legality covers human-to-corporate interactions.

Because corporations are not people. They are composed of people, but the people of a corporation are fungible and to consider them differently is, to my mind, a huge error.
