The moral difference is in the restrictions. A file from the iTunes Music Store that you can only play with Apple's proprietary software is unethical, even if the copy you obtain was via bittorrent. Similarly, there are many PVRs that are restricted so you can't, for example, copy the files to your laptop to watch them on the train. -- Regards, Dave - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
