I do not think we are anywhere close to the Dor HaMabul and Sedom, and I amazed that people can be motzi laaz on the entire uma haKedosha of Hashem like this.

Society has degenerated to the point of condoning and legalizing Mishklav Zachar, and this is a serious concern. But it does NOT reflect our values but rather that of a liberal nation that, for all its maalos and being a medina shel chessed to us and others, does not have the Torah as its life-source as we do, and is therefore prone to making grave errors (even lishitasam) such as legalizing mishkav zachar, Hashem Yiracheim.

Regarding gezel, there is a machlokes whether copying CDs/music is or is not gezel, in certain circumstances. Regardless of this machlokes, the chamas of the other doros mentioned was far worse. There, they, in groups, stole a physical object until there was no inventory left, and with that exact intent, and did so as a “naval birshus HaTorah”; meaning: since it was less than a shaveh pruta, that it was lichatchila muttar. Whereas today, someone who has a taava to copy music, AND knows it’s not proper (regardless of whether or not it’s gezeila as there are other issurim to potentially contend with) may not gain additional olam haba for doing so, but I wouldn’t dare compare that to sedom.

Klal Yisrael has much, indeed, to be proud of, B”H, as we wait the geulah sheleimah BB”A.
