Do you support the legalisation of polyagmy and polyandry
RE: Do you support the legalisation of polyagmy and polyandry
How is intellectual property the same as physical property?

If I write (My copyrighted/patented text here) and then start telling it to people of my choosing, who then retell it others, who then tell it to even more people, how is that in any way theft? My copies haven't been touched. If I come into your house and steal your goldfish, you're down one goldfish. If you post a picture of your goldfish on the web, and I Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+v that picture, you have lost neither your goldfish or the picture of your goldfish, your copy hasn't even been borrowed.

Breach of contract, maybe even fraud, I can see, because the first people may have signed/agreed/checked a box, saying that they wouldn't make copies. But theft? No, especially not the people further down the line.
Nemo me impune lacessit.
