You can believe what you like, but if you want your beliefs to relate
to reality you should examine;
<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-free.html> amongst _very many_
other documents written by him. This explicitly uses the word 'share'
before describing "Massive propaganda saying it is wrong to disobey
the owners to help your friend."

There is no need to place "sharing" in quotes, since unlike "stealing"
and "piracy" it is a literally accurate description of the activity.
