So your opinion is basically that as long as it’s not physical, it’s free to take.

Good thing others think differently or software wouldn’t be a viable business.

Most of the world runs on literally free and open software, so what is your point again?

Most of the world also runs on paid software, that’s purchased. Infrastructure isn’t free, software to run said infrastructure isn’t, either.

Can’t believe I’m arguing with people on here that software and digital goods are worth something.
