But, second, supporting the theft of intellectual material because it doesn't meet your standard of excellence is illogical.

You continue to talk about some sort of theft, yet have not said what you really mean. Actually, I would say that you are the only one talking about stealing things, while others are talking about things such as creating copies or making things available to the public.

  I find modern automobile design boring, tasteless, derived, and repetitive.  Does that, then, give me the right to break into a dealership some night and give their cars away?

What does this example have to do with what he talked about? Have he claimed it is OK to break into the artists home and stealing a copy of his music? Of course not, so why do you try to compare the two things. On the other hand, if you felt the automobile was so bad, would it then be bad to build your OWN identical one? Quite a different situation.

You are trying to compare physical objects to non physical ones and of course ends up wrong. In addition, you have still not understood how copyright makes the distinction of the two and that ownership of the copyright to a work is not the same as ownership of copies of the work.

But then, I guess that since you probably feel it is theft to break into a coffe shop and steal a cup of coffe, you also feel it is theft making your own identical cup of coffe no? After all, it is all the same to steal and to make a copy, no?
