Probably too busy stealing back what is mine.
Yes, good thing this metaphor does not apply to tax
Some people also think the earth is flat, it has nothing to do with reality.
Big companie/rich people - absolutely

Robin Hood?
Oh interesting!
I immediately read that as:
Big companies - “hell yeah we will steal from people”
Normal people/sm business owners - “no thank you, we don’t want to steal, or be stolen from”That matches current statistics already since something like 75% of theft is wage theft in America.
Nah, I would keep the treasures for myself 😁
No. My behavior is derived from ethics, not from law.
What if the company you’re stealing from is ethically bankrupt?
Like Adobe / Microsoft / Google / Meta / … maybe most large enterprises ? No question about it.
downloading software isnt theft, soooo unless you are breaking into their offices its not really stealin from them.
Warez piracy is anyway not “stealing” since you’re not taking the digital item away, tis something which can be infinitely copied.
Meta, Google and Microsoft sell’s hardware though. Not too sure about adobe
I would download so many cars
I would steal your heart, OP.

Flat lines
No, I wouldn’t want anyone to steal from me so why would I want to steal from anyone else?
Not from people that earned what they have. Corporations mmmm idk.
If theft was not a crime, it wouldn’t be stealing.
Yes it would.
No, it wouldn’t. If murder wasn’t a crime- murder wouldn’t be illegal. It would just be killing someone. Stealing is a crime. If it wasn’t, it would just be taking things.
Stealing as a concept has existed for way longer than laws are
If they’d wasn’t a crime, it would be taking. Not stealing.
Nonhuman animals, which don’t have laws, still steal from each other.
No, they take from one another.
Wiktionary defines it as: To take illegally, or without the owner’s permission, something owned by someone else without intending to return it.
I would never spend a single dollar at Walmart again if stealing was consequenceless

The prevailing morality is to follow an arbitrary set of rules, mostly made by and for a class of people who have dominated the political sphere for most of human history. E.g. “If this will violate Ownership™ of a thing as defined by law, you shouldn’t do it.”
-
Another kind of morality is to consider the effects of an action. E.g. “If this makes someone’s life noticeably harder or more miserable, you shouldn’t do it.”
-
Another kind is to look at the social relations. E.g. “If this enriches yourself at the cost of someone who is already worse off than you, you shouldn’t do it.”
What source of moral code do you subscribe to?
Kant’s categorical imperative: “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.”
-
No. Theft goes against my personal ethics and religious values.
I wouldn’t feel bad about stealing groceries since my local grocer admitted to price fixing and has jacked the prices to an inhumane degree. But like from a person or a small business or something, no.
No. When I do something I’m not wondering if it’s against the law, I’m wondering how this affects someone else.
Does it affect Tim Cook if you steal from Apple? There’s obviously a difference from situation to situation here
Yes, I’m aware of the obvious
Congrats, that’s more than what can be said about most.
