Sorry if I sound confused, but can I ask a question to help clarify
something. It seems to me, that in principle, (not taking the current
laws into account) you do not see anything wrong with plagiarism? I.e.
it would be perfectly fine to portray someone else's work as you own?
Since there can be no ownership on ideas, then the formulation of
those ideas either graphically or with words are also intellectual
property, which, in theory do not exist? so plagiarism is ok?
