Zeb,

By that reasoning, you do not "own" anything that you have ever bought - everything is produced, manufactured, imported, shipped, packaged, etc. For example, if you bought a car, do you not "own" it, or are you simply "borrowing" it? 1000's of parts, made, packaged, shipped, imported, exported from all over the world, assembled here, there, everywhere, hauled to a car dealership, and finally sold to you... or, do you want 1000's of people telling what, when, where, and how you can/should do with your car?

If I buy a $5 chip from a casino cashier and paid $5 for it, it is mine to do with as I please. That is ownership. That is now my property. It no longer belongs to the casino from where I purchased it from. That is my way of thinking. I do not consider it "stealing" or whatever "harvesting" is supposed to be.

I'm just trying to understand the difference between "harvesting" and "stealing" chips and where the determines such things...
