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
if the tool builders stole your work to create them, never compensated the creators, didn’t even ask them - I suspect you’d feel differently. it’s gross and people are like “well, it’s just artists what do we need them for?”
copying isn’t stealing, and modeling isn’t even copying.
the greatest threat an artist faces isn’t that someone might copy their work, but that no one will want to
I get it, you’ll care when they get around to stealing your work.
copying isn’t stealing.
oh, so you copied all the answers on your exams?
pfft. quit it kiddo, you’re not equipped for this.
… He’s not equipped? Your metaphor was nonsensical. Let’s say he did copy his exam answers. Who lost their answers as a result?
Hence copying is not stealing.
Additionally, who was harmed by the copying in your example, and how?
being willfully ignorant of the harm being done to artists ability to pay their bills and you can’t comprehend how it’s theft.
damn that’s dumb.
Who is dumber? The one calling people dumb, or the one unable to answer their questions? Don’t use metaphors if you don’t understand them or can’t explain how they are valid.
you’re happy to steal from people, you just want to call it something else to obfuscate your guilt.
I see this all the time. it’s fucking dumb. you’re either lying to yourself and deluded, or trying to lie to me.
So to answer your query: you, you’re the dumb one.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk, gonna block you now because your inane messages aren’t worth the electrons used to transmit their content.
yep, kindly point out where I’m doxing, trolling, sealioning, being racist or toxic. I don’t need to be friendly to someone being willfully ignorant, and none of this exchange has met those bars.
sealioning
toxicity
Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential
but ok, if that’s your bar for toxicity, shrug. report away.
I wouldn’t. Ideas should be free, and there should be no barriers to them, or ownership considered. If you create a thing, everyone else should be able to use that thing however they wish, and with no limitations, to create their own things. Full stop, no exceptions.
This is why I pirate. I will never consider or acknowledge ownership or license when consuming media, art, or information. If you release an idea to the greater world, then it’s my idea, my art, my music, my software, just as much as it’s yours as the creator. And I’ll do with it whatever I will.
cool story bro.
