He is not saying "It is wrong to steal."

In the context of this piece, framing this as anything less than "It is completely wrong to steal software and I am only doing it to discover the power of the trojans and their antidotes" is the very minimum, and I still consider that wrong. Absent NO comment that it is morally wrong to steal software, he is proactively encouraging it

He was too busy getting up on his high horse I think. I read it. You read it. We got it. I also read the part where he said he did all this as research for the article.
