It is neither OK nor wrong to steal music of movies according to existentialists. Why? because it certainly depends on each individual. We each have our own freedom, and were put in a world that gives us that freedom and at the same time restricts it. We were each both with values, and even though we live in a society that has already established its norms we have our own. It is always OUR choice to choose what to do in life. However, having freedom does not mean we can do anything; we have to responsibly learn to deal with our freedom. Would using someone Else's work as our own be wrong? Depends, it is wrong in the way that we are abusing our freedom, and we wouldn't be responsibly taking advantage of that power, but it would also be right in the way that it truly depends on the person. If this person's values, his/her very own, tell him/her to do such thing because he or she is ready to take the responsibility for his or her actions. We can each make a choice, with the power of freedom we were given, so we can steal music or plagiarize as long we aren't affecting others negatively and as long as we know what we are doing. We have the freedom to do what we want, because we are born with that freedom. However, our world has laws and we have the duty to recognize each, and then guide ourselves with what we know.

What do you mean by having freedom? We clearly don't need freedom for, we are non existent. You have no other real existent person living in your world; they are just products of your imaginary mind. Nothing exists, so plagiarism indeed is not wrong or right it clearly doesn't exist. How do I know this? Well how do you know that the person besides you is not made by your powerful mind? How do you know that your toys are not talking when you are not there? This all sums up to turning everything non exitent.
