How is something, freely given, stealing? If I buy Diablo, and provide you with a copy... those were MY bits. I paid for them, they're MINE. If I chose to give you a copy, they were mine to do so, and to label that as theft is Just Plain Wrong. It's Doublethink.This is very interesting. Especially the bit about doublethink.
Perhaps you could explain how the concept of intellectual property differs from your concept of "My bits" and "MINE".
How does your concept of "My bits" and "MINE" differ from Blizzard's?
You seem to be implying possession affirms a greater right of ownership than creation?
What would you say the rights of ownership should be?
Carry on.
