Most of the same people who bitch the loudest about theft, tubes, and so forth could be found in simple search on GFY/forums bragging about how they have not paid for music in 10 years. Or if you/they want something to just go grab some movie/game/program/script off of a torrent or alike when the subject comes up.
But when it comes to THEIR design/content/website/whatever being stolen.... oh hell NO! Stop the presses. Get out the yard arm. Sue them into the stone age, etc. and so forth. Theft only seems to matter when it is THEIR stuff being stolen.

We all live in the same reality, and the Internet has blurred peoples understanding of ownership with freeware, shareware, and the ease of which material is out there.
Major players like Google, for their own profit have exploited this.
We put a lot of pictures up and don't mind that they go out into the world, our movies because of the high cost we would like to make an income and pay our models and web designer etc.
Getting the large players to understand that content has to be paid for will be the first step, then others can fall in line.
