Thus it is their prerogative on what to do with said knowledge and some do give it away for free. However, some do not and if you go against their wishes and take their work without their permission you are stealing.
It's the original producers that steal (most of the time).
There efforts are usually based off other peoples idea's & methods to begin with. They just apply there own "stamp". This leads too a waste of money that can be best spent on just surviving.
There is an element of greed. It's all about money.
The poor don't like the greedy.
- First off, your first statement has nothing to do with this debate: everything bought and sold today is based off of other people's ideas and methods and merely has a "stamp" to differentiate itself
- Secondly, every person is given an equal chance to say how much the so called "stamp" is worth: they can choose to buy the product or not.
- Money is a representation of value, if you buy something it means you think it is undervalued by the seller. Clearly you think that these products are overvalued by the seller
- By saying the money should best be spent on surviving you are making a valuation of the product: to you the product is not worth as much as food/shelter etc...
- However, this does not validate stealing
