Copying is not theft.
Stealing a thing leaves one less left
Copying it makes one thing more;
that’s what copying’s for.

Copying is not theft.
If I copy yours you have it too
One for me and one for you
That’s what copies can do.

If I steal your bicycle
you have to take the bus,
but if I just copy it
there’s one for each of us!

Making more of a thing,
that is what we call “copying”
Sharing ideas with everyone
That’s why copying
is
FUN!

When is it plagiarism? Is intellectual property not a thing anymore?

You essentially are making those investors take the bus if you copy their product and sell it a price they can't compete with. There's a difference between an idea and a usable product that has been developed at an expense. Plenty of people have ideas, but that isn't worth shit unless someone is wil...

I was so condition about copyrights and I thought this was a theft. Until I did some research and bumped into a book: "Against Intellectual Monopoly" and it open my eyes to the world I barely noticed! Defo worth a read. 💯

You nailed it! Sadly to many copyright makes it a crime to copy, then it becomes theft, just ask the brothers who’s ideas were stolen and now we call it Face Book

💯. If you put organized information out in the public domain it is no longer property. Property can be destroyed, information cannot and is thus something different. Don’t want someone using/copying your ideas….. Keep them secret.

Ideas are meant to discover the undreamt. Copying makes patterns and dreaming, lanterns.

Copy-protection, in the form of DRM, is more akin to theft that copying is. It denies fair use rights, enshrined even in our modern contrived copyright law. Just say No to DRM.

Some people believe it's theft because you're potentially undermining their ability to sell it. A big company can often produce your widget faster and distribute it better than you can (assuming you're a small company or an individual), thus it's not a fair competition to profit from the idea. Just ...

It is common to argue that intellectual property in the form of copyright and patent is necessary for the innovation and creation of ideas and inventions such as machines, drugs, computer software, books, music, literature and movies. In fact intellectual property is not like ordinary property at al...

This is awesome. Spreading truth is more important than being the person who comes up with the best idea. Let the ego go…

You know why it is not fun? Because the person creating the bicycle put life, energy, sacrificing pleasure and comfort, sometimes up to exhaustion in order to hold the space, to get the tools and to create it. One wanting to use it must help first the creator not for the object itself but for the h...

Copying without permission can be a theft of opportunity. If i write a book and you copy it and sell it cheaper or give it away free. You are depriving me of the opportunity to capitalize on my work.
