if it was otherwise, and humans picked up alien transmission from, say, venus, and we found a weaker specie and a less advaced subculture there, plus a planet with resources, we would colonize and destroy them, like it happened so many times with our own kind in our own planet.

and for an alien civilization that could pick our signals and perform light / worm travels, the costs of a colonization couldnt be *that* huge

the indians in america didnt send smoke signals to europe before the colonization, yet it happened, no need to speed that up

keeping it quiet sounds good for now.

We absolutely have a right to prevent actions that we believe may may cause us harm.
