Hi, guys —
- Are we obliged to report all crimes/law-breaking?
For example, I know people who violate copyright laws by downloading movies, etc. or who buy these things from others. I also know others who have fake ID's, social security numbers, etc.
- Is it my duty to report them?
In the case of copyrighted material, I don't even know who to report it to and it seems like the authorities don't do much about it since:
- many piracy websites are still online
- no one shuts them down, not even the copyright holders, and
- legally we aren't required to report them.
This has been bothering me a lot. It seems like it's not my job since I don't have a job that checks IDs or copyright issues but morally I'm conflicted whether or not I have to report them.
It can be exhausting and even unscrupulous to report everyone breaking the law.
