So evil means suppressing reverse engineering? Any company that suppresses reverse engineering is evil?

Classic strawman.
You are allowed to contribute to society, but only if you contribute something that can be used by someone however they want it. Otherwise, don't even bother contributing---making products that bring music to the world, or create jobs.
In order to create value in this society some aggressive behavior is typically deemed necessary. But this is win-lose behavior. Is it possible to think of a new, win-win paradigm?

==> Conclusion,

evil = win-lose

good = win-win

How's that for a definition of evil? All of the parent posts make a lot more sense now, to me.

Dialectical reasoning ftw.
