I mean...artists should be paid for their work right? Fuck Nintendo, but that same logic could be applied to anyone. I'd be pissed if someone just straight up lifted my designs and resold it.

Absolutely. I don't get how someone can say stealing the work of others is morally correct.

because work should provide limited profit

Are you talking about some heist on Nintendo's blueprint vaults?

Because IP infringement is never theft.

I does not conflict with people being paid for doing something. If I'm a carpenter and I'm hired and paid to make a bench. No one is stealing me if, once the bench is done, I don't have a said in who sits on that bench. Or if I don't get paid every time a person sits on that bench.

Like any other job you should be paid for doing work. Not for owning a property.
