@LCEC. Jesus wouldn't be a pirate. Turning water into wine is not a breach of intellectual property as the 'design' of wine doesn't belong to anybody. If he had turned the water into a specific wine perhaps he would have case to answer to.

Yes, but someone had to have invented wine? Why didn't we find it as a crime(As I'm sure the Pharases[SP?] wanted to)? Wine has a history dating back to around 6000 BC so if they'd acutally cared back then, then I'm sure they would have been angry at him. Even if you want to go to a more specific copyright, the wine he made was probably: 1. locally influenced, or 2. actually a copy of someone else's. If Jesus invented his own brand of wine, I'm sure, since everyone loved it at the party, it would exist today. However, since I've never heard of "Jesus Wine", I'd say this is not true.

Because there were no intellectual property rights, no-one cared, because the people who made the wine still depended on sales, not a paycheck from other people using that "Intellectual property".

Actually if we are for some reason applying modern laws to that time the copyright on wine would have long expired anyway. Also you are making baseless assertions that Jesus would have copied the wine from somebody else.

Your assertion that if the wine had been good and original then it would still exist today is stupidly absurd. It requires the fact that a) it could be replicated (he made it using divine powers ffs!) b) it was actually real (atheist here) and c) the 'recipe' would both still exist and d) the wine would still be remembered as being made by Jesus.

All of these seem very unlikely to have occurred.

 

Just face it, your Jesus comparison doesn't actually make any sense.
