Agreed. The Doc, Moriarty and Vic Fontaine are definitely sentient beings but that doesn’t mean people who go into a holodeck to spar or to fuck are committing murder and sexual slavery.
Even the Doctor wasn’t adverse to using basic holodeck characters in the same way as the rest of the crew did. I doubt he’d even have a problem with what the Hirogen were doing if they weren’t specifically creating holograms who could experience fear and pain.
