    Copyright violations aren’t stealing. Human thought cannot be “stolen”, only shared.

      Human thought shared between humans cannot be stolen. A billionaire’s company feeding a machine all human thought for purposes of replacing said human is absolutely theft.

      As for copyright, tell that to all the people fined for piracy.

        Copyright violation is punishable by law, yes. But it’s it’s not theft.

        A billionaire’s company feeding a machine all human thought for purposes of replacing said human is absolutely theft.

        It’s immoral sure, but not theft. We don’t need to equivocate to pass moral judgement.
