Something that can’t be stolen is not property. You can only copy a stream of bits not steal. You can also replicate it to infinity. A pound of gold is real property. You can definitely steal it and you can’t replicate it.
Maybe it’s like Diamonds. You can absolutely make diamonds in a lab without any bloodshed and people will be like “the blood is what makes it special”. Maybe the “original” bits make it special?
Back in the day when the only copyright protection was scare tactics. Anyway looks like an ad for a software product, not actually anti-piracy propaganda. Nostalgic none the less. There was a time when all software was obtained through floppies. I sure was glad to see those go, damn things failed more often than they worked. I kept a big box of blank ones and copied everything off three times in case the first two failed.
