Well it really comes down to how good you are with that stick. You "can" stop me from singing your song... But can you? You don't even know where I am.

And this is the premise on which Anna's Archive operates.

The operator isn't even called Anna, just in case that wasn't already obvious to literally everyone.

> You "can" stop me from singing your song... But can you?

Yes. I kill you. Stealing was usually punishable by death in ancient cultures.

> You don't even know where I am

This isn’t a thing in early human societies.

Like, yes, you could theoretically get away. Lots of thieves of physical property actually get away. That doesn’t make said property indefensible in principle.

    Sure it is. I hear you sing your song. I travel. I sing your song to other people while you're not around to hear it. You don't even know where I am.

    (Of course, there was never any "theft", as it were. I even paid to go to your concert!)
