So, is it ok to steal as long as you share the goods with your friends
for free? That seems to be what some here are saying. I don't know if
they feel a hate for profits or if they are not thinking very deeply.

If you knew someone who could print money would you think it was ok as
long as they shared for free? Or at least only charged their cost for
paper and ink?
