In reply to sbicknel

The quotes were, as I pointed out in the original article, from the fsfe europe web site.

You'll also see others acknowledging them in their responses, where they attempt to justify Stallman's claim that making a pirated copy of software for a friend is somehow "the lesser of two evils", the other one being to just say no to them.

If a friend asks you to steal for them, are you really doing them a favor by saying yes?

The next time you're at the supermarket and you hear some child throwing a fit because they aren't getting what they want NOW, you might want to think about how they (and everyone within earshot) might have benefited from hearing "No" more often.

You might also want to consider the class of friends you have if their friendship is contingent on you stealing for them.
