>>>"Copyright infringement" isn't stealing -- it's copyright =
infringement.
Stealing requires that you take "goods" -- i.e., physical items.
"To take and carry away, feloniously; to take without right
or leave, and with intent to keep wrongfully; as, to steal
the personal goods of another."
When you take that temp job in Hollywood parking cars or waiting tables =
while you work on making it big as a writer - you will often state that =
you, "have a property in development" - as in, "intellectual property". =
Intellectual property is just that - property. And its owners enjoy all =
the property rights and protections as physical assets. Intellectual =
property can indeed be stolen.
Your own definition above is entirely applicable to intellectual =
property. When someone copies without fair payment, that's simple theft =
in my book.
