Ethics Question

[Talking Poker]

Well, I generally consider myself to be a fairly moral person (I say "fairly," because I knowingly do my share of thing that are wrong by the letter of the law), so I guess I feel that using them - when they are allowed - is ethical, yes. If they were not allowed on a given site, I would stop using them on that site. Would I suddenly feel that they are unethical just because they are no longer allowed? Well, no, because I'd still use them on the other sites that allow them - but yes, I think using them on a site that forbids them is unethical, yes.

I'm not sure if that answers your question.

So back to the original question: Yeah, I guess I think it's unethical to play under someone else's account, and I have never done that myself (other than the time I sat in a tourney for JD for like 45 minutes). But would I fault anyone for doing it if it's not against the rules? Absolutely not.

And don't think I'm Mr. Super Straight Laced By the Book Guy either.... I mean, is downloading copyrighted episodes of High Stakes Poker from the internet because your stupid cable company doesn't get GSN unethical? I suppose so, yes. But do I do every week anyway?
