RE: Private and Personal Property: A Distinction Without a Difference
I love your thinking. Information wants to be free. If you "take" someone's song or picture or movie, they still have it. They have been deprived of nothing. This isn't to say that people can't be rewarded for generating amazing stuff; steemit is a great example of how people can be rewarded for their thoughts, even though it's not property.
Exactly! You've hit the nail on the head on why copying isn't theft. And, as we're currently demonstrating, content creators can still be compensated for creating content with open access and no barriers to entry (other than that you need a computer and an internet connection)
