One of the things we spent a little bit of time in ethics class last year was how the wired/digital world might intersect with ethics, and in particular digital downloads. So I was interested to see this brief comment in the ethics section of the New York Times, where the author argued that some digital downloads while illegal might be ethical. See The Ethicist – E-Book Dodge – Question – NYTimes.com. (Will file this away for a class exercise next year)
