Okay, so you’re merely saying that they steal, but pretending that no one else does. That’s still Orientalism. There isn’t a powerful country in the world that isn’t engaged in industrial espionage. That’s just how industry works. It doesn’t make them scum.
I literally said others do it too. You’re arguing something I didn’t say. My point is that theft without credit of someone else’s work is wrong, no matter who does it, and it’s never justified taking someone else’s work and claiming it to be your own.
I never called anyone scum. You’re projecting onto me something I’ve never said and making assumptions about me that are false.
