From Judges leave technology's moral choices to humans:
Excerpt:
The court's decision doesn't condone the theft of copyrighted material. That is wrong and will always remain so. Peer-to- peer networks have other uses, however, particularly for the many lesser-known bands, artists and filmmakers that embrace file-sharing for its distribution power.
The court's ruling rightfully recognizes that technology doesn't make moral choices, humans do.
