  • I think you’ll find it is called stealing to copy something without permission, and copyright infringement can deprive the originator, like if someone copied the lyrics of a song someone else released 2 days back without credit. Modern copyright law is widely abused but that doesn’t change the fact that taking art without permission is stealing, no matter what your personal definition is.

    The stealing in the studio ghibli case is ingesting all of the studio ghibli art without paying them for it, and while outputting, clearly labeling it as studio ghibli style.











  • I think you should try talking a bit before asking for someone’s number, at least.

    Don’t actually be creepy, but you can never control how people feel about something. Something that’s completely fine to someone one day might be the tipping point on some other day.

    If you hit on someone just based on looks they might not take it nicely because they might be getting a lot of that!
