This thread is silly. Get a few jumps away from major population centers and you can run the sites entirely uncontested.

Well, there's your problem, right there. LOL well you have a point there. Apparently ethics are a long lost myth on the internet anymore. My bad for being old!
Well, no, that's not really it. It's not about ethics and "the internet", it's about ethics and Eve.
You're assigning an ethical value to a normal facet of gameplay.
If you sat down to play Monopoly and pulled the "Bank Error In Your Favor" card, would you return the $200 to the bank because you've been undeservedly enriched by the bank's error, and it would be unethical for you to keep it?

Yes and yes but I dont play Monopoly.
I feel like you're misunderstanding something about the nature of analogies.
Do you refuse to shoot NPCs? Killing is generally regarded as fairly unethical. Sure, you might be defending yourself in some cases, but you probably didn't HAVE to warp into that pirate anomaly or take that security mission, right?
I mean hell, even these Rogue Swarm drones are likely sentient. I haven't seen them out and about bothering anyone, they're just chilling in their little pocket, not bothering anyone at all and then you roll in and start blowing the place to bits, and for what? A shot at a cheap palette swap and some performance enhancing drugs? And then you want to draw the line at picking up the resulting goods when someone else did a slightly better job at the whole drone-murder thing?

There's probably a stronger case that the empires are evil (especially Amarr) than most of the pirate factions.
