Firefox's autocorrect wants to correct 'multicellular' to 'unicellular'. Kind of not helpful there.

We also teach them not to steal and what it means to own something. I get your point, but this example is dumb dumb dumb. Most of it is hugely contradictory anyway.
I don't think you get my point at all, since you seem to think it has something to do with stealing. However, it seems you've made impressive progress on your attainment of adulthood socialization.

Are you talking about things like file sharing? That's...a bit different. I agree that it's kind of confusing from a 'always share' morality, but it's not like you're going to get in trouble as an adult for sharing your fries with a friend or lending your neighbor your lawn mower.

The problem with most child morality lessons is that they're simplistic, but that's just a restriction of learning. You can't start off with all of the exceptions and situational rules off the bat and expect anyone to learn everything. So people start with the basic lesson (which mostly boils down to 'don't be a selfish jerk') and then teach the kids more about the subject as they get older.

It's not just file sharing.

It's the entire idea, that as an adult, you are expected not to share a wide variety of things that are given to you or that you purchase somehow. Even on the copyright front, since that is what people seem to want to talk about - remember that you are just as much in violation of the law by playing music you like at a friends party, or by playing it on your guitar - attempting to share something you've purchased with those you care about certainly isn't "stealing" but it's something that people aren't expected to do.

People DO do it, anyway, and even as adults we know it's perfectly okay even if it's not what the law says, so that tangent isn't really relevant to the original point any more.

Where are you going to face 'massive fines and jailtime' outside file sharing, exactly? You can share your car, food - you could give away your physical music albums and not get into trouble in any sane court of law. File sharing is not physical sharing (to our society - not a matter of opinion). Information I can see here, especially as it goes with keeping secrets/honesty and Wikileaks etc.

Again, the idea of private property and ownership is also taught to children, even if they are encouraged to share said property. Nobody's stopping you from doing it (and it's generally seen as a good thing).

You aren't, because most of the world is, to a degree, reasonable about sharing things that aren't clearly secrets.
File sharing on the other hand, is stuck between the internet, old corporate people, and laws that did not involve negligable-cost duplication when they were made, and so it has basically all the trouble possible until thats sorted out.

Oh, now it makes perfect sense. It doesn't by the way. I was being sarcastic.

It's better if you DON'T think about it. Just think of it as a collection of images and sounds that just so happened to semi-resemble a psychedelic experience.
