not at all. the difference is in the amount of money involved, and the
intent. If you're doing it just for a wad of cash, it's not excusable. I
dont't see why that's so hard to understand.
perhaps if you want to talk about double standards you can consider the
double standard that corporations (like sony) have all the rights of an
individual but none (or very little) of the accountability.
