For creators - i.e. self employed - the creation is the scarce resource that allows them to make a living

Copying/stealing their creation is akin to making a worker work for free

Would making workers work for free be less moral the minute there is a worker surplus?

Theft is theft, it doesn't matter whether the stolen product is a scarce resource

But what if the creation was made on top of others ones?
