What are your thoughts on people not respecting Intellectual Property rights? Will it lead us down a path of gridlock where nobody is going to create anything new for fear of someone else using their work without payment/credit? Also, why is using someones creative output or deriving from it OK in some fields (like applied sciences) but not in others? (Here I'm not including the people who claim others' work as their own, merely people who clone)
