    "... immoral for someone to commit a simple act of infringement"

    It's only simple when it's assumed morality is contingent on a solely econometric understanding of social relations. Cultural progressives are not so much tearing apart culturally conservative *beliefs* as they are attempting to balance (the normalization of) econometric conclusions about civilization with a civilized working of economic processes.

    This is likely why certain issues can not be 'directly' discussed: the language of social cohesion, which perpetually changes, conflicts with the universalizing of private property and the end of history that it implies.

    2 years after Toronto's G20, it looks like 45 of Toronto's police officers will be charged with misconduct, abuse of power, etc. for their actions.... it's a surprise how far discipline seems to be going given a similar culture of lawlessness by authorities in Canada; unless it's making an example of a few extra souls, then back to bau.
