Ethics of File Sharing – The Shallowness of Most Accusations September 4, 2013 · by Michael Wartenbe · in Pirate Topic Those who are open to others about their file sharing are keenly aware of the criticisms that are thrown at us, many times without much thought. Some of the more emotional accusations even equate us with pirates, a term that was easily adopted as a symbol of freedom and liberation from a monopolistic, elite royalty.
