    I don’t think you should be calling other people “moron” if you don’t understand the phrase “devil’s advocate”.

      First off, I only called them a moron on a condition, and I stand by my assessment.

      Second, playing devil’s advocate is meant to enhance discussion. What they’re doing is muddying the discourse and playing into the hands of copyright-holders. It’s very close to the “just asking question” bullshit that’s so prevalent recently.
