Please don't use the word "steal" to refer to copyright
infringement. They're different crimes. (In the US, copyright
infringement is frequently the more severely punished one.)
That's almost as annoying as people who use the term
"intellectual property" as if you can build a house on it and
watch it accrue in value.
