PLAGIARISM ON STEEMIT!! - STOP IT - WE WILL FLAG AND REPORT YOU!

Go into any store and take something without paying. Step outside and wait for the police and they will explain the concept. Taking anything without permission is theft and theft is punishable. Yes, even in Germany after the Nazis took over. Especially then! I can't believe you really think stealing is okay. There are legal, intellectual property laws you may want to Google and read.

@willymac why are you assuming that the reported guy didn't have permission? and I don't see @joeyarnoldvn or @robertgenito saying stealing is okay.

@tarek-h he didnt have permission! have you even read my post? go back and read again!

The Steem protocol gives him permission :\ remember, Steem is also a form of governance. It's a protocol.

It took far more time to and human energy to create what you sell in your store, and it took far more time and human energy to create your STORE --- as compared to thoughts (practically 0 energy) and typing. Typing = cheap.

What kind of ass are you? Typing is cheap, I'll give you that, but thoughts can be the culmination of hours, days or even years of work/study. My writing, for example, relies on the meticulous use or deliberate misuse of the English language. To do that well I had to learn English to a level far beyond average. That involved hard work, not "practically 0 energy."

Maybe it's time you worked hard at something.

We're all from the same mind, and that's how I look at it. Therefore, your thoughts aren't valuable until they're shared with others who don't have access to those same thoughts. That's where the work does matter! :D I'm also a proponent for free software (sort of like Steem) and the Linux ecosystem, sooooo that's not being an ass, that's being frank :)

I'm sure your thoughts may well have cost practically zero energy. Didn't mean to offend you. Theft of intellectual property is still theft.

oh don't worry, you did not offend me :) Ask China about intellectual property :D

Good! :D
