It's really very, very, unbelievably simple:

Just because a tool CAN do a thing, does not mean it is wise nor right to actually do that thing with a tool.

Ease of accomplishment is NOT justification for the deed itself.

I chose to illustrate that point in as shockingly glaring a way as I could -- by using PvK's words RE: the ease etc of free sharing of data via computer, only as applies to nuclear munitions. After all, it is about as easy for a nuclear munition (once constructed, ofc) to destroy a city, as it is for a computer to download a few score MB of mp3's.

And would take less time, if you didn't need ot ship the bomb to the target city.
