Yes, deterrence is a weak form of restriction. :-) But we've already ruled out specific deterrence as an explanation from hell, because by the time you get there you're too dead to be better in future. So we're going with general deterrence, right? In that case it seems like one must argue that it's justifiable for God to torture other people infinitely for YOUR "own good." Or to torture you infinitely for OTHER people's good, of course. It seems to me that this violates our basic understanding of fairness.

(And wait, did you just use the word "steal" for intellectual property? ...)
