Art theft is the antithesis of awesome.
Someone stealing any physical property is likely bad for one or more reasons.
Also, you can't steal an idea or a concept. Copying digital information doesn't deprive the creator of the original. Copying isn't theft.
It is, it's playful and meaningful and awsome. It's my favourite kind of art. It's what the biggest artists do. Art works like memes. When you don't let people derive from each other, you suffocate art.
