Sermonette Commandment VII

Commandment VII:  Thou shalt not steal from another artist, unless it be honestly.

Art is not my art or your art. It is culture's art since it is nurtured by, supported by, propelled by culture. Creativity is not pure originality, but rather a reconfiguration of previous creative ideas into new ones. Creativity is, in the end, a communal and cultural engine.

No one should steal from another artist for personal gain, but only to enrich the creative pool.
