In answer to your question......
Um....Yes? At least for me they do. Society trys to tell us otherwise!

Okey dokey STL.....
Is it okay to steal as long as you steal from someone if their a multi-national corporation?
Society would say no....

Is it okay to steal as long as you derive some benefit from it and it’s not to your detriment?
Stealing in general? Like anothers kids toys? No....not okay.

Is it okay to steal as long as what is stolen wasn’t going to be used anyway?
Like a garden gnome? Society says no, I say YES!

Is it okay to make that decision to steal based on your own subjective probabilities of whether that something isn’t going to be used in the future?

At the end of the day its not okay to steal in any situation. Whether you're starving or homeless or rich or poor. (Yes, I would steal to survive) Everyone will justify their own actions according to their own values. So STL I agree that mass customisers and KOers do infringe on HasTak. It is wrong. But if I like something I see and I can afford it....I'll buy it whether its official or not.
