> If you're making the argument that theft is limited to tangible things, well, you're entitled to that belief, but generally the consensus is that intangible property is still property. Money is property.

The argument is not about tangibility. If you steal someone's virtual money, they still cease to have it.

> If you're making the argument that zero marginal cost items are not private property, that's an extremely radical position

On the contrary, I'd argue that allowing people to literally own numbers is absurd.

Baseless insults are a great way to indicate that you don't have an argument.

I stand by my statement.

Your entire argument boils down to the idea that musicians shouldn't own distribution rights to their work and that sass software licenses should be free. It's a stupid position to hold that falls apart immediately.

So yes, either you're under thirty and haven't thought it through or your ability to reason about this stuff is limited.
