It is very simple: intellectual honesty. How can I teach students about
IP rights and responsibilities if I am using pirated and stolen IP based

A very disappointing article.

I expected it to be an analysis of how the concept of "IP" /itself/ is
dishonest, but it turns out to actually support the misconception of
"piracy", and simply expounds the need to blindly obey corrupt laws
without dissent.
