Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.
Edit: pls do not downvote the comments this is a constructive discussion

So how would anyone benefit from their creativity? I certainly wouldn’t invent anything if I knew some big company could just steal it.
Exactly, that’s why Leonardo da Vinci was willing to paint the Sistine Chapel. He knew he’d be protected by IP…
First it wouldn’t be stealing then and second ou could use their former IP as well. And just because There’s no IP, doesn’t mean you wouldn’t have to give credit
Why would a company do anything to do a “Honorable mention” and pay with influence?
The law for IP can be played by both parties. It’s just companies that have too much ressources can bend those rules in their favor which is the actual problem.
IP includes patents
Ah yes, let me just make millions by producing a 200 million dollar minecraft movie with all the top agtors and use all my networking to get it into all the cinemas worldwide
I assume this is referring to art but if not then disregard this. Yes, there’s countless tutorials provided by artists. There’s free videos online. Tumblr is a great place to learn drawing. The reason not to steal from artists through AI is for same reason I don’t want to use apple or windows, google. It’s corrupt at its core. It contributes to hurting and screwing over people. Buying art from artists or even just downloading another artist’s work supports another human because even if you didn’t buy it, people will still inevitably want to know the artist. Ideally, a person should buy the work from the artist, the same way if you go to a farmer’s market, you should pay the vendor for the veggies they grew. But even if you steal or pirate art from someone, someone will want to know who made it.
Opensource and art are not so unalike. from my clueless but learning tech newb pov, linux users or any non corporate tech user is doing everything from scratch. The command terminal is their sketchbook.
