As a generalization, yes. Beating someone down and stealing their ideas is not at all good.
But to be specific to this case... is Paley, as an American child of the late 20th century, a part of the group that benefited from the British colonialism that trod heavily on Indian culture? America is not free of colonial stains by any means, but must she be responsible for the other places Brittania ground beneath her heels at the same time as her own country was being born?
Does Paley's utter lack of profit, to the point that she's grasping at straws just to get the film able to be seen without legal action, never mind making back what she spent on it, change anything?
