How many times must we have the discussion about the differences between stealing a physical item and copying a digital one?
- endisneigh 4y agoIt’s not the same, but the OP is talking about free access to information. So under that logic stealing the physical book is fine. Or I can amend my original comment and say stealing the physical book, creating a copy using a commodity printer and leaving the copy, while keeping the original, is fine.
- friend_and_foe 4y agoWhy "leaving the copy whole keeping the original"? If the issue here is theft of information, than keeping the copy and leaving the original is just as bad, no? Why make that meaningless distinction in your point? Theyre equivalent, according to you.
- endisneigh 4y agoYes, under the original logic following the great parent post.
