      Yes. Defrauding people is analogous to theft. People are transacting under false pretenses. Copying someone isn't the same as claiming to be the progenitor of a concept. These are different things.

      Yes. If you agree to transact something you own, given some condition, and the person does not meet that condition and instead runs off with the property, then they have stolen that thing. Plagiarism is fraud. It's like "paying" with counterfeit currency.

      But copying something is not fraud. If someone supplies a torrent for Game of Thrones, I do not even implicitly assume that they're the producer of that program. There's no false pretenses.

      Tell me. What would be the point of creating art, film, music, brands of clothing, tech gadgets...and so on, if they can be freely replicated and distributed?

      If you mean how could *you* profit off of your own work? Well, promise to make more if people pay you. If they like your work, then they will. I don't think it's a problem if you can't profit off of work you did, which no one appreciates or solicited.

      Literally already addressed this, but okay. To repeat myself: Promise to make more of the thing you made. People will pay you to do so. Work on commission. Get patrons. Use advertising. Crowdfund. Continue to innovate. Use first-market advantage. Donations. Develop a brand.

      That's. Wrong. I literally just explained to you that publishers in the UK made more revenue in U.S. markets than in the UK, despite the fact that U.S. law didn't have copyright for foreign publishers, while the UK did. The books even sold for more in the UK. But fewer sold.

      The Linux Foundation is profitable. So are distributions of it like Red Hat Linux. Their software is open source. YouTubers make good money off of platforms like patreon. Various publishers make money selling public domain works. There are countless examples, like I said.
