"Just like in realestate"
In realestate if you invite freinds and perfect strangers onto your property ... and together you hunt through stolen items scattered about on the floor, in the garage, and in your yard, and you all trade bugulary kits .... Oh wait ... that is illegal too! Hence the reason you can't invite strangers and friends to your FTP server, and together you can not all trade stolen files, and cracking software.
If you are caught with a stolen car in your garage, it's illegal.
If you are caught with stolen software on your computer / ftp server, that is also illegal.
Pretty much the same idea.
Sometimes my concience bothers me... but usually it doesn't say a word.

Practice makes marginally better.
