This looks like theft to me. Hive left Steem with their own fork, copied the content and reset all wallets to zero, and then "airdropped" HIVE and HBD balances to selected wallets based on accounts meeting certain criteria. Original STEEM was left intact, and all acounts maintained their STEEM and SBD balances. Nobody lost anything. You're welcome to follow suit and fork off, leaving original STEEM intact too, but you're choosing to seize the original holdings from those accounts. That is theft.
