@ernie both of these are acceptable. Intellectual "property" doesn't exist. You can't steal an idea.

@Fu Copyright law would disagree with you

@Fu I think copyright law is super-broken, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not quite as far as intellectual property not existing.

I think both of these things cause people to be disillusioned by copyright law

@ernie @Fu One talking point of the copyright maximalists is that there's such a thing as an "idea/expression dichotomy." I wrote a blog post on someone's blog post on the subject some years ago.
