Description

No information

There are a bunch of counterarguments and nuances that I didn't properly address, but given that Pro unfortunately (and to no fault of their own) didn't provide an argument, I think this should be sufficient.

Sorry Trixie, you probably didn't realize either:
- you would have to be available in the 2 hours after someone accepts.
- or how long it would take for someone to accept.

For stealing of physical objects, does the punishment based based on how expensive the object you steal is?

One could steal an entire library of digital books,
Yet, it seems worse to steal a library of physical books.
. . . Since the digital books are 'copied, and the digital library is not deprived of it's books.
Public libraries are generally already free for the public though, they have to buy a copy I suppose.
But I'm rambling.
