That's exactly an example of how our world becomes immediate and binary.

In a world that tries to be pluralistic we end up judging in a binary way. The classical good v.s. evil, where there's middle ground (to the story).

It's really complex to judge and we're in an era that everything becomes judgmental quickly.

There are many horrible stories of stolen ideas by big tech companies. Some are very nasty.

On the other hand, even at my current workplace, sometimes at trade-shows or emails, someone approaches and suggests something that's similar to what we're working for many years (but yet to release).

Even Alexander Graham Bell had a patent conflict when first registering his invention, not to mention Tesla :)
