An original graphic design is the property of the person who created
it. No one can take that design, reproduce and dissseminate it without
the permission of the creator. The key words here is reproduce and
disseminate, and that is what the mass reproduction of creating and
dissemninating stencils would be. Without permission or and an
agreement about compensation,that would be STEALING. For some reason,
there are people who just don't get the hang of copyright law. Lets
explain that ONE MORE TIME.

If a person asks a computer company to a computer show .... cool. If
they ask for a sample computer .... mmmmm .... maybe. If they take
that sample computer over to China, and have a few thousand knocked
off for cheap with no permission and no licensing... THAT'S ILLEGAL
and its THEFT. The excuse of "well, your computers are so wonderful
you should be flattered that they're everywhere now, and doesn't
everyone want more computers to make a better world?" for such a thing
would be absurd.

Want that in more graphic terms? If you rape a girl and tell her "you
should be flattered that you're so sexy that I just had to have sex
with you, and isn't the world a better place with more sex?"

A person's property is a person's property. That includes their
songs, their drawings, their ideas, their research, their their
posessions, their body, and their name, or name of their business.
You don't take a person's property without their explicit permission,
and you don't duplicate and disseminate their art, music and ideas
without their explicit permission.

Stealing is BAD. OK?
