I said it was not and then got roped into a discussion of whether or not anyone has the right to say whether anything is moral or not.

Again, you have missed my point entirely. Within a culture, moral values tend to be fairly stable, and thus approach absoluteness. The question was not whether it was morally correct or not in other cultures, but within the context of US culture. You made statements about wholely different issues on the relative/absolute nature of morality. This is an entirely separate issue from whether copying the game is morally correct or not. I did not ever once comment on your belief that copying it was immoral, just on the other parts of your post that made the (wrong) claim that morality is absolute.

But just because you believe something does not change what is right and wrong.

This is a two-way street Geo. Just because you believe something does not make it right. Like your belief about morality being absolute.

Morality has to be absolute by definition in order to be morality.

No, it does not.

As a man of science I am sure you understand the need to have absolute points of referance in order to make any sort of measurments. Without them all your measurments are useless.

Measurements of human nature tend to be rather useless.
