I think you've derived the wrong point from my stance.
Theft. In my eyes. Is on a sort of sliding scale with regard to ethics.
Stealing from an individual is reprehensible. Stealing from a corporation that nets more than one billion dollars annually? You have a moral imperative to take whatever you can get from them.
I day "Steal" more affectionately with respect to coding. Context matters deeply. Data should be free dah. And the socialism. Good.
Oh sure, thats a miscommunication error then.
I wouldnt call it stealing myself but i can find myself in your definition.
