An amazingly stupid and entitled attitude is that "Someone did a bunch of hard work, and they deserve to be rewarded". It is pure bullshit. I could go out back and dig a giant hole with a spoon. Should I be paid for the rest of my life for digging this hole? Your idiot reasoning says 'YES! It is hard earned work you deserve royalties!'. As for your ramblings on identity theft: I think we have a mismatch of definitions. For me Identity Theft is not information copying, it is using that information to cause loss to the person, e.g. withdrawing from that person's savings. The copying of the information is not the theft, it happens all the time without negative consequences. You are defining identity theft as "having the information, whether it is used or not". You are being intellectually dishonest again here. You use the emotional topic of ID theft, which is a broad term containing several different sub-components, and then redefine it to be isomorphic to copyright infringement. Even when clarifications to what actions and subcomponents of ID theft are actual theft, you insist on ignoring those portions to make some other point. In short, stop being a wanton fool.
