Copying is not theft.

Stealing a thing leaves one less left

Copying it makes one thing more;

that’s what copying’s for.

Copying is not theft.

If I copy yours you have it too

One for me and one for you

That’s what copies can do.

If I steal your bicycle

you have to take the bus,

but if I just copy it

there’s one for each of us!

Making more of a thing,

that is what we call “copying”

Sharing ideas with everyone

That’s why copying

is

FUN!

Yeah, doesn't work that way for intellectual property though.

Intellectual property like any other property needs to be protected, if it can get violated simply by reproducing the bits. It is not property.
