More provoking, perhaps Huawei is aware of this and using it as intimidation, "we can copy you exactly faster than you can innovate, so better work with us..".
Curious pattern here where knowledge of secrets is considered stealing or not stealing depending on the subject.
I wonder if it's just different people reading or if the community itself views it differently.
After all, "it's not stealing if you have your copy" does mean parent is right.
Agree/disagree is not the only factor involved in voting - another one that I suspect is in play here is “interesting/uninteresting in the context of the present discussion”.
A fair point. Surely in the question of intellectual property, it is just as relevant here as it is there.
I'm not stealing your TV, I'm just borrowing and keeping it!
No, that would be stealing. But if you opened a TV and photographed it then it's not stealing.
Try telling that to Cisco
How is that a valid defence? Try telling the MPAA/RIAA that your use of The Pirate Bay isn't stealing.
Without even getting into the "is personal piracy wrong" issue, it's pretty easy to draw a line between an individual downloading songs from pirate bay and a major corporation pirating IP wholesale and then making a business out of reselling the derivative products.
Without entering the entire debate, I was only intending to talk about the "Ask the plaintiff" style. Obviously the plaintiff is going to think something's wrong. That's what being the plaintiff is.
