For the record yes I would steal a car if the owners car didn't disappear

    Back in the day when the only copyright protection was scare tactics. Anyway looks like an ad for a software product, not actually anti-piracy propaganda. Nostalgic none the less. There was a time when all software was obtained through floppies. I sure was glad to see those go, damn things failed more often than they worked. I kept a big box of blank ones and copied everything off three times in case the first two failed.

    Something that can't be stolen is not property. You can only copy a stream of bits not steal. You can also replicate it to infinity. A pound of gold is real property. You can definitely steal it and you can't replicate it.

    Maybe it's like Diamonds. You can absolutely make diamonds in a lab without any bloodshed and people will be like "the blood is what makes it special". Maybe the "original" bits make it special?
