Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.
Edit: pls do not downvote the comments this is a constructive discussion
Edit2: IP= intellectal property
Edit3: sort by controversal
IP only protects those who have the means to defend their IP in court, which is rich people and companies.
Sure. I don’t think that is theft.
As a consumer, you can download the book, listen to a free audiobook, or print it yourself if you want to. The company only gets money if they somehow make better physical version than what others have access to.
To me this is not at all akin to ownership or theft.
False. This shows a lack of knowledge around the topic. Off the top of my head I know a specific case where a small grocery store defended it’s IP from Apple. In your world that wouldn’t work. I mean how did JK Rowling go from a poor person with a story to a rich author. She had no money to defend her IP.
This take is just wrong. Factually.
So if you create a book or song or art piece, you shouldn’t be entitled to the money that those make? They should just all be free? I mean sure, but then people will stop doing it, because of it doesn’t make money people need to work to pay bills, they can’t create.
The first example was a company, and the second example I assume was done under a book deal, so a company.
Good night
