Stealing Intellectual Property is a crime just like killing someone

Often human beings have the intention of getting things the easy way. Does getting things easily means they are correctly? The answer is no, people often do not think if something is right or wrong, they just care if its easy. Humans never think if they are hurting someone else because of stealing their work or their ideas. Simply because humans practice it everyday and they steal music, books or anything that they require means that they are right? No, this is the base of many problems in society. Individuals often get involved in conflicts just because they have stolen the rights of others. Some people don’t bother if another person grabs their property without permissions, but what brings many problems to society is that often the robber identifies what he stole as his property and his creation. This makes the action be double wrong because he didn’t only stole the property but lied to say it was his. As I stated earlier in one of my ancient writings, “Discourse of Inequality”. The first man was the one who when he got to earth he said “This is mine” and the other ones that were so innocent believed him.” As I say I believe that people have the intentions of getting power and that desire to be superior since the day they are born. They do not care if being better requires ruining the life of another individual. People should not steal music or any kind of work, because it belongs to another individual. Reason can say this but the only way that we can change the society’s’ mind is by giving them education because otherwise humans are like animals.
-Jean Jacques Rousseau

  1. Jean jacques, I Nietzshe, though I hate everything, I must agree with you, some people take things the easy way, when there are much harder but more pleasurable ways to obtain things, it must be considered lieka crime, because you are taking other peoples work and effort, and one should die for that type of act! Good writing
