I never said that stealing was right I just said that it can be avoided and that authors/artists really can't boohoo over stolen work when they post it on the internet. The human race kinda sucks in that regard but its the truth.
Not to mention that people rarely if ever take people to court and/or sue people for stealing their work on the internet because at the end of the day you are choosing to put it out into a medium that has no rhyme or reason and in which bad people/ people who have no regard for laws are going to take advantage of it.
It's more or less a kind of situation where you just shrug and go "oh well."
