Statement on Theft, Digital Sabotage, and Restitution
In recent years, I have invested significant resources into my creative work and platforms—purchasing domains, website themes, devices, services, and protections to share my contributions with the public. Unfortunately, these investments have been repeatedly targeted by hacking, sabotage, and unauthorized siphoning of my intellectual and creative labor.
Let me be clear: this is theft.
It is no different than breaking into a person’s workshop, destroying their tools, and selling what they produce without permission.
When individuals attempt to dismiss or deflect this reality by accusing the victim of “greed,” they are engaging in gaslighting and cover for their own criminal behavior. Greed is taking what does not belong to you, profiting from another’s sacrifice, and leaving them to bear the costs.
Respect for the rule of law means no citizen should have to resort to unlawful means to reclaim what has been stolen from them. Justice demands that those who engage in digital theft, sabotage, or exploitation be held accountable—not only through penalties but also through restitution. A portion of fines and damages collected should rightfully go to those who bore the loss.
This is not just my stance; it is a principle of fairness. Creative labor, digital work, and intellectual property deserve the same respect and protection as physical goods. To steal from them is still theft. To ignore it is to excuse crime.
