    What do you think is the appropriate action to this? When you start to establish laws based on evil behaviour, you eventually get witch trials.

      What?? Every law we have is a matter of moral debate. Why do you think murder is illegal, or rape? Because these are evil behaviors.

        Not every law is a moral debate. Laws limiting the height of my fence is not a moral debate.

        Remember the guy who bought an ‘art’ banana for $6m and then ate it? That also wasn’t a moral debate.

        If you pass a law protecting rare valuable books, then you also need to decide which books are protected.
