Tons of italian companies have to sue chinese ones because they copy italian products design, down to screws, and sell them on italian market at half the price. Wanna talk about parmesan, a wanna be Parmigiano Reggiano? So italian companies have higher costs also to pay lawyers to sue? No thanks. You don't like IP? Fine, do something else, maybe better, but stealing remains stealing, whatever you call it.

Well, that is the question, isn't it? You consider mimicry to be a form of theft; others disagree.

Spot on. Trying to argue piracy is some form of liberalism is nonsense.
