    copying isn’t stealing, and modeling isn’t even copying.

    the greatest threat an artist faces isn’t that someone might copy their work, but that no one will want to

            … He’s not equipped? Your metaphor was nonsensical. Let’s say he did copy his exam answers. Who lost their answers as a result?

            Hence copying is not stealing.

            Additionally, who was harmed by the copying in your example, and how?

              being willfully ignorant of the harm being done to artists ability to pay their bills and you can’t comprehend how it’s theft.

              damn that’s dumb.

                Who is dumber? The one calling people dumb, or the one unable to answer their questions? Don’t use metaphors if you don’t understand them or can’t explain how they are valid.
