Intellectual property is intangible and cannot be stolen. Copying is not stealing; the original does not go away.

You at nitpicking definitions.
From your blog:
> Assume that we address both of these problems: we create an empathetic system which never denies a human being of their fundamental right to live, and we eliminate copyright.
So basically you advise solving world hunger and resource scarcity as necessary to avoid the need for copyright. That is literally impossible, there will always be someone who wants more than they have, who feels what a socialism-based society believes is sufficient is really not, and who are we as a society to judge the perceived needs of each individual? No thanks, I’ll take capitalism any day.
You have created value by stealing someone else’s wealth.
If bottled water companies were selling my water or my ideas without paying me, that would also be theft.
