The 8th of The Ten Commandments, Thou Shalt Not Steal, seems the closest direct answer to our question but also raises an age-old piracy dispute – is copying theft?

I'm no theologian, but considering the writing of Exodus is dated around 500 BC, and based upon much older oral traditions, and any formal idea of intellectual property being a much more recent invention, I don't think the context of the 10 Commandments would consider copying theft.

The comparison to Jesus and the loaves and fishes also seems quite apt. Jesus seeds.
