There's a spanish saying: Ladrón que roba a ladrón tiene 100 años de perdón.
A Thief that stoles from a Thief has 100 years of forgiveness.
A Thief that stoles from a Thief has 100 years of forgiveness.

Wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of link to the Spanish but if there is I can't find it...
Ownership is when you convince the right people that you should possess something.
Side tangent: there is an interesting Vox story about a Greenland meteorite. It illustrates the real human cost of these expeditions that filled museums. Therefore I find it hard to disentangle “ownership” from “violence”. In this story, the change of ownership is a violent and traumatic event.
Stealing through force is very different to stealing through deception alone. History is made by the first, and ruined by the last.
Ownership is when you buy a movie and then can watch it as many times as you want... until the streaming service goes out of business.
Oh, sorry, I meant "book" and "read".
No, sorry, wrong again... geez...
The guardians are the thieves.
Force isn't a precursor to theft. It's a precursor to possession.
If someone with a bigger stick used it to take possession of the museum, we would have to say that they own the items now.
If you're being sarcastic, it's not coming through over the internet. It sounds like either a variant of "might makes right", or irrelevant linguistic pedantry.
Dunno. Probably just think with my brain and not my heart in most situations I can? This is a fairly simple situation where logic wins over extreme emotions.
No sarcasm here. Just the truth my friend. If it's pedantic to be right rather than be wrong and emotional then sure, I am being pedantic.
