Copyright laws did not even exist prior to the 18th century. Your digital and other media (e.g. hard drive, paper, etc.) for storing information is your private property. Your property right to use your own information media under Biblical law (protected by “Thou shalt not steal”) supersedes and nullifies any contrary claim asserted by mere human law (see Matt. 28:18). People who claim enforceable property rights in information (i.e. numbers) or ideas are sinfully adding to God’s law (in violation of Deut. 4:2), and thus usurping God’s authority.
