Nothing !!!!People assume the statement "Copying is not theft" is akin to saying: "Copying is not wrong".
What they refuse to see or admit is that theft and copyright infringement are different things - the copyright-maximalist propaganda has done its job well.
It's all rather sad, really... that people have come to assume that copying is somehow as bad (or worse?) than stealing. It's almost incomprehensible that we've reached this point.
Exactly. It's similar to the propaganda of "draining the reward pool." That only happened once on the STEEM blockchain. They drained it so they could fill a much bigger pool.
Similar to how "copying is theft" gets their point across about how they disapprove of copying, "draining the reward pool" means they disapprove of how rewards are allocated. They want to use a means other than stake alone. They want some kind of influence cap instead of or in addition to the stake-based system we have.
