- hattar 5y agoYes, this is pretty much what they do.
- pidminusone 5y agoSure. I'm just noting that owning data is not an absurd idea, as OP implies. Another case that comes to mind: spreading child porn should be punishable. Imagine if pedophiles could claim they were "just copying bytes". I guess what I want to say is: there are valid reasons to be against IP. I don't like IP and I would like IP laws to be seriously revamped. But "bytes are meant to be free" is just a naive argument, as copying bytes can clearly be harmful to others in ways most societies consider criminal.
