Copying is not theft.


Can we get that added to the US Constitution and the UN Declaration of Human Rights?


Does it need to be added? I don't think anything legal considers copying theft. Copyright infringement and theft are literally just different crimes.

I don't think copyright should exist at all, but conflating infringement with theft helps no one. Well, maybe Disney and other copyright empires.
