- Wikipedia.com says that theft is the illegal taking of someone else's property without that person's consent.
- Answers.com says that taking is the act of someone who picks up or takes something. An example of taking would be, me taking $20 from my friend, resulting in my being $20 ritcher, and my friend $20 poorer.
- Because software is not an object, but simple data that can be multiplied to infinitum, if I were to copy something, and then use it as if it were mine, the person that I copied it from has no loss. If this is considered stealing, that would mean that every copy has an individual value. Does that mean that I could copy Limewire Pro into seperate folders 10,000 times and become a millionaire?
- Microsoft wont go out of buisness by me getting Office for free, neither will Zone Labs by getting ZA Security Suite for free. Its the same thing with music, why is everyone going so crazy because of this? If were not selling it, why dont they leave us alone?
