There is no such thing as intellectual property outside of stuff you keep secret. Once you put it out in public it is no longer property. It’s plagiarism when you claim to be the original creator of the exact thought and you’re not. Plagiarism is an academic/reputation/moral issue, not a criminal issue.

I think we have a practical problem. It’s just a gut feeling, so forgive me if I bungle my argument. If anything I write and post on nostr instantly becomes public it no longer matters who published it, because it can be copied endlessly and I can’t stop it. If we don’t care about authorship, then why bother with identity? If identity doesn’t matter, why do we insist on signing everything? I think this issue is important for creators.
