In a previous thread I was asking about the legal issues of copying a product that I saw in another country. I think morals sort of became a side issue and I thought it would be an interesting discussion. People talk about having good morals but what does that really mean? At the end of the day I guess it’s up to you to decision if your morals are good or not. If you can sleep at night knowing whatever you did that others might consider bad karma then there is no issue.
Did the owners of Pepsi have bad morals? Did Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg have bad morals? They all stole ideas and used that information to make themselves very rich while still remaining respected by most. They are even seen as visionaries.
If you had an opportunity to use an idea that you saw in another country knowing it would make you a large sum of money would you take it? And if you did take it does that mean you have bad morals?
Sure….. in a perfect world everybody respects one another and would never think of taking what is not there’s but……that’s not really the world we live in. I am interested in hearing everybody’s thoughts.
