it's only "theft" because people have allowed themselves to be brainwashed into believing it and NOT thinking for themselves! ...brainwashed by people who desire to CONTROL who recognizes them for their ideas. This has to do with what every negative emotion stems from: fear. Leads to greed, leads to worry, leads to self-entitlement.
We are all part of 1 mind anyways, so it's not like any idea is strictly that 1 person's blessings. That's their ego...there's no need to spread negativity because one feels entitled :)
Theft is theft. Fantasy is fantasy. Ignorance is ignorance. Enlightenment is enlightenment. Your wishing it were otherwise is a waste of my time. Toodles!
@willymac, you are not listening and you are not thinking.... think about history at a deeper level... look at the sequences step by step.... look at Germany for example
Go into any store and take something without paying. Step outside and wait for the police and they will explain the concept. Taking anything without permission is theft and theft is punishable. Yes, even in Germany after the Nazis took over. Especially then! I can't believe you really think stealing is okay. There are legal, intellectual property laws you may want to Google and read.
It took far more time to and human energy to create what you sell in your store, and it took far more time and human energy to create your STORE --- as compared to thoughts (practically 0 energy) and typing. Typing = cheap.
What kind of ass are you? Typing is cheap, I'll give you that, but thoughts can be the culmination of hours, days or even years of work/study. My writing, for example, relies on the meticulous use or deliberate misuse of the English language. To do that well I had to learn English to a level far beyond average. That involved hard work, not "practically 0 energy."
We're all from the same mind, and that's how I look at it. Therefore, your thoughts aren't valuable until they're shared with others who don't have access to those same thoughts. That's where the work does matter! :D I'm also a proponent for free software (sort of like Steem) and the Linux ecosystem, sooooo that's not being an ass, that's being frank :)

@willymac why are you assuming that the reported guy didn't have permission? and I don't see @joeyarnoldvn or @robertgenito saying stealing is okay.
@tarek-h he didnt have permission! have you even read my post? go back and read again!
The Steem protocol gives him permission :\ remember, Steem is also a form of governance. It's a protocol.

Maybe it's time you worked hard at something.

I'm sure your thoughts may well have cost practically zero energy. Didn't mean to offend you. Theft of intellectual property is still theft.
oh don't worry, you did not offend me :) Ask China about intellectual property :D
Good! :D
