I do agree that it is easy to copy and reproduce just about anything. With technology gets a bit hard to do, but still it is able to be done for those willing to put the time and copy it.
With regards to intellectual property and copying/stealing that.... It could be an argument of personal ethics, such as what type of person would engage in thievery like that and of whom there stealing it from, and to what regard.
Stealing a lifesaving vaccine from a pharmaceutical company to have it mass-produced to save many lives is dairy argue a noble endeavor, Robin Hood style... But stealing someone's hand-drawn work of art, to then minted and solid as your own... That is plagiarism, and while there is nothing stopping someone from doing that, it would then fall to the idea of personal ethics. Yes it is easy to scan and grif people in this method, to claim something as your own and profit off of other people's hard work.. But if everyone in the world does this, everyone is just a thief stealing works from other people... What type the world do we live in?
I could see how, in a hypothetical way, we can make use of the block chain and stamp artwork or code, then if other people freely use that, they would automatically get royalty payments based on smart contracts. Sure there are ways to once again steal things but then there systems in place to help compensate people automatically.
It's a hard question and I think a lot of it comes down to how the individual person wishes to live. Just my thoughts!
Dropping you some hot !PIZZA and !LUV on this post! ❤️
It is like youtube videos. We know they arent posted by the original artist, but we still love them and watch them and the poster may get some rewards. We will know the difference between original and copy

I don't think we will know the difference between a copy or original, unless of course we have them stamped with individual wallets much the same way transactions on the block chain or sign, then we contracted back to make sure the wallet signing that transaction is the original author for that piece of content.
