This is not a werbal spin. When you told stealing, that is a verbal AND a legal spin.
I'm tired of you guys finding exemples of steling what a TOY to a poor kid. THE HUGE differnece is: that kid doesn't have a toy anymore. If I copy your house, do I steal IT? I don't think so... but I DID a copyright infrigement if the architect copyrighted your house. I didn't steal not even from your architect. I would never pay them for your house. If I wanted to be clear and legal I'll find some very cheap or free or whatever architect to build my HOME.
Copyright is stealing. They steal my right to frealy use and distribute a free speach and build a new culture on the shoulders of giants. Just like Disney did at the time when copyrights were limited in time and scope. Doesn't this sound good?
I have a right to free speach. To use it I need to cite or use your work like "You take something (anything) that doesn't belong to you, they call that stealing, and it's wrong." I just steal your sentence. What you gona do? But I need it to freely tell that you have no right. Free speach doesn't belong to me but I have all the right to use it. Wather doesn't belong to me but I'll probably never die of thurst just because it belongs to you. What abou air. SCO and you would probably like to pay for air we breath.
On the other side I feel comfortable with authors need to be paied for his writings. I don't agree with taking other work without proper authorisation. I just think that this is NOT stealing.
