    That is no defence.
    BTW, you realise someone pays for what you don't.
    Hows the UBD going? Not only are you a thief, you have to brag about it.
    Whats your reasoning behind that?

    :p

    This is true in some cases but you are never forced to download/take it.

    So Peter, would you care to point to the part on the page that says
    copyright infringement is stealing.

    It may be illegal it's not however the crime of theft. Not even close.
    That lovely line used by those who have a vested interest in
    protecting it is patently untrue.

    At its most general, it is literally "the right to copy" an original
    creation.

    or try

    I doubt there are many people on this newsgroup who don't have a handle
    on what copyright is. Sure as hell both GB and I do anyway.

    The problem is in support of your claim that breach of copyright was
    theft, you referenced a wikipedia entry which didn't support your claim
    one iota.
    <sigh> well it beats studying, OK, I'll bite, <peruse>

    OH goodie, you still don't get the point. Yes, those who are wanting to
    protect their copyright can be quite agressive about it.

    Now can we accept that breach of copyright isn't theft ? Or do you wish
    to provide some more irrelevant urls ?
    I'll take that as a yes

    And taking goods without paying for them is taking goods without paying for
    them not theft? I have better things to do than discuss Semantics.

    :p

    Fruit guy has apples on a stand on the footpath outside his store.
    Some student takes apple without paying for it and starts to eat the
    apple.
    This is stealing,
    Fruit guy looses income from lost apple.
    Fruit guy looses income from lost sale to student.
    The student profits by not spending money on apple.
    Now if student starts to sell apple or apple juice it is even worse and
    more insulting.
    Stealing is theft, you can call it what you like but in MY BOOK its
    theft.
    Someone takes your helmet from your bike without asking/paying or
    permission and I bet you would see it the same way.
    If someone moves your funds from your bank account into some account in
    Africa you don't call it fraud, you call it everything else and make
    sure we all know about it.
    Just ask Hew Griffiths, though he was only a pirate and never actually
    took/sold anything real he is going to be serving some real time.
    If you write and publish a book and someone else copies that content and
    prints it up with their name you call it plagiarism, theft along with
    copyright violation.
    Just because this thread was started because we were talking about
    digital media such as a pirated street directory or a hacked
    subscription to a mag does not make any difference.
    Teams of people put work into creating that mag or street directory and
    you are taking money/income from their pockets.

    :p

    No he's not. They still have the original work.

    The only possible way they could be out of pocket is if he would have
    bought it but pirated it instead. If he never intended to buy it in the
    first place then they've lost nothing even if he did subsequently pirate it.

    Well, it seems we might be getting somewhere. Yes taking **GOODS* is
    theft.

    So when random 12 year old in New York city(1) takes a copy of her
    friend's Pink album, does the the friend still have that album in her
    sweaty little hand ? Yup. Does the record coy. still have a master
    copy in their vault ? Yup. Has a sum of money been removed from the
    bulging coffers of aforementioned bloated record coy. ? Nope.

    Theft requires depriving the owner of physical possession or use (2).
    I guess that's an easier response than "OK I was wrong, copyright
    infringement isn't theft"

    Y'see you have to understand that in this newsgroup there are quite a
    few people who can actually see beyond the superficial spin doctoring.
    I think PaulH's post comparing "copyright is theft" to "meat is
    murder" pretty well sums it up. Neither are true statements in our
    societies. Both however use a deliberately false emotive statement to
    buttress a weak case.

    Go play with the dumber folk on another newsgroup, they might fall for
    it, stooge.

    JL
    (1) Real case - RIAA sued a 12year old - for the 25 odd albums she'd
    downloaded - noice...
    (2) Layman's definition - I can go look up the correct/exact legal one
    if you like

    Yup, that's theft, keep working at it, you'll understand the
    difference soon, I'm sure.
    Ahhh yes, but has he been charged with theft at any point in time ?
    Errm, no. He's been charged(1) (and sentenced to a total of 4.5 years,
    3 of which he has already served in Oz waiting for trial) for....wait
    for it.... copyright infringement(2) !!

    JL
    (1) I assumed you're referring to the guy from the central coast who
    got extradited to the US in yet another blatant abuse of our legal
    system by the US and the federal govt.
    (2) and some ancillary stuff around the same point
