> Napster had zero ethical responsibility for the mass piracy it enabled

How could they have any moral responsibility for ethically neutral thing other people were doing?



Even if you think they had no moral responsibility, it's clear they had legal responsibility.


What's legal is very malleable with the use of money. Which copyright holders weren't shy about spending.


Not much has changed, I see.


Nothing. In other news, murder still immoral as always.
