When is it stealing?
As soon as you have to ask, "When is it stealing?", it's stealing, simple as that.
As much as people would like to believe otherwise, all the rest is hand waving, semantics, and window dressing.
- MichaelGG 13y agoYou can assert that, but plenty of people have an over-entitlement and will claim stealing for anything. Not saying that the author is being over-entitled, but just asking if it's stealing shouldn't somehow elevate things. For one, this completely destroys fair use, even for parody. Just claim something was stolen. It'd kill any innovation driven by competitor enhancements: stealing. Heck, some people felt that Kindle's text-to-speech was stealing.
