How is stealing something better than stealing something + optionally offering to return it for money?
- jfrunyon 5y agoBecause ransoms are more profitable and therefore more likely and therefore more profitable...
- tyingq 5y agoPersonally, for me, because the decision makers around me are spending an inordinate amount of time worrying and talking about ransoms. It's the overworn topic-du-jour, and I'm happy for something else to shift the news cycle.
- thomastjeffery 5y agoBecause we are talking about copying, not stealing. Critically, the thing was not taken away, and the victim is still in possession of it.
