I asked yoav to provide a reasonable counter to my ethical argument, and he talked himself into a corner.
Theft is when something is owned, and profiting off of others' art is theft, but art is not owned.
Art has no value according to capitalism, except that capitalism determines value through supply and demand, and so capitalism is bad.
It is only unethical to violate artist intent, except when yoav violates an artist's intent.
