Stealing something by copying it? Is that like taking a photo with no flash of the monalisa, with a 50MP camera on a tripod? Did the original disappear? I am tired of hearing this horseshit that copying (with attribution) is theft. It is patently not. And a patent is another example of a theft, because, and oddly enough, historically (like how secret shares was devised by two mathematicians at the same time) it is rare a new idea is given by the maker, to only one. Sure, register a trademark. Claim first dibs on some specific original idea, in it's whole entirety. But who benefits from creating this atmosphere of fear around creative work?

It is an absolute crime that anything paid for by the crime of extortion, i mean by taxes, is not already public domain, and even the download is funded (what, $0.00001 per copy, right?).

I look forward to the day when people realise what an abject racket is copyright, and it's just one of the many branches of the Mafia, ahem, did I say mafia? No, I meant Government.
