Learning is now theft!?!?
I remember when I first stole high fives from a TV show.
Also remember how I stole language from others around me.
Then there's how I stole smiling from my parents.
Hell I stole every bit of understanding I have from the environment that surrounds me.
Or maybe this is all just a case of the wrong word because I'm pretty sure the appropriate word is not "stole" but learned.
The Chinese may have learned from the world around them but don't we all.
It's okay for a a developing entity to mimic the expressions of others.
In fact it's absolutely necessary normal and healthy.
The commercial world disregards real world sensibilities and operates as a sort of exception from reality lala land in which reality is suspended in favor of a law enforced game made of fabricated from imagination and willful desire of its authors.
So if anything the Chinese might be cheating by American rules, but if mimicry without consent is stealing then lock every Infant up, kill the learning process and and revert humans to dumb animals.
For not willing to do that then you have to admit that it's not stealing.
Either it's b******* that people made up or it's real independent of cultural and legal Fabrications.
