It's not. Calling it theft when technology is transferred to China, is an exaggeration.
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoIn the short term, it is called IP theft and is considered negative. In the long run, it is called the diffusion of technology and is considered positive.
- pmoriarty 10y agoNot everyone believes in intellectual property or in the notion that copying is theft.
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoTrue. As a counterpoint, not everyone believes that technology diffusion is good and desirable.
- pmoriarty 10y agoGood for whom? The ones who already "own" most of the intellectual property? Or the ones who don't own it? Those who create it, those who distribute it, those who sell it, or those who consume it?
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoYes. Isn't good and bad usually relative to ones own interests?
