If our rights are contingent on taste then we have no rights at all.

If a criminal steals from another criminal, do you feel sorry for the first criminal?

If the software in question was explicitly intended for illegal purposes, would you still take the same position?

For me, moral lines exist. I don’t defend the right of people to profit from immoral acts.
