Dale,
Your comparison of turning in someone smoking a joint to someone who has
copied a disk is an inaccurate, even painful, characterization of the
problem.
The question is, would you turn in someone if you saw them stealing from
the till of the local grocery store, or would you consider that
"orwellian" and "fascist"? That is a comparable crime – not doing drugs…
doing drugs at the level of "lighting a joint" is a socially defined,
internally directed crime, not a commercially defined, externally directed
crime.
Setting an example is great, and is appreciated (at least, by me and the
rest of this company). More can be done, and reasonably so, IMHO.
