IP relies on an entity with a monopoly on violence and this does not exist on a global scale. If one doesn't want others to copy your non-tangible work it must be closed source. We live in a time where many do not think logically or rationally about such things. I believe openness and freedom are good for humanity but clearly the absence of moral values is required.

When you share your code you must accept that licensing can't always be enforced. Fundamentally you can't steal code because it is an idea that can be copied with ease and is not theft. It's copying. If one agrees to a license that can be violated but this is not theft but something else. The Chinese culture does not view IP in the same was as it is viewed in this west. We in the west mistakenly can what they do theft. They simply see ideas as shared. I get it it is impossible to contain information once it is shared but the west continues to push this lie. We need to grow up.
