Thread: Internet censorship

You can't own matter any more than you can own something abstract. You're drawing lines in the sand without providing an argument why something material can be owned but something abstract cannot be. What's the difference? Why is the moral obligation suddenly different just because you can hold it?

Good, then you won't mind if I come to your house and take the computer you used to write that?

By your logic, yes. Your logic is basically telling me I could come to your house and take anything I want with no moral obligation. You refuse to make a claim as to what the difference is between something abstract and something material so I'm forced to conclude that unless you can stop me, I'm morally enabled to rob you.
