I didn't think I would have to defend the basic idea that theft of private property is bad on Nostr... especially with someone who says they have an agorist view point. So to summarize: 1. Intellectual Property is real and has value. 2. Theft is wrong. 3. Stealing another person's property violates the concepts of a free market and leads to bad outcomes.
I thought this place was built on the concept of "value 4 value"? What are we trading on Nostr if not Intellectual Property for money?

If I take pictures of your car & then can go home & feed them into a machine that will "print" me a car eith my materials & electricity as inputs, have I stolen your car? Have I stolen a car from the manufacturer? Is anyone missing anything? Would they even know I had done this?
People confuse copying with stealing, but they are very different things. Theft is subtraction. Copying is addition.
You in particular keep trying to confuse lying with copying, which is also a very different thing.
We are surrounded by low cost ways to copy everything we see. The internet is a giant, nearly free, copy machine.
Property is scarce & rivalrous. Things that are not rivalrous cannot be property.
