Hello,

    No. You teach people how to treat you. If you believe your work is
    an expression of yourself, then when you allow your "expressed self"
    to be stolen, you are making a statement of how you see yourself. If
    your work isn't worth defending, then what kind of person are you? Do
    what you can to protect yourself, do what you can do protect your
    work. You may not accomplish total destruction of your opponent, but
    sometimes just being a pain in the ass is enough to discourage these
    people. 

My own two cents.
Susannah
