The penal code necessarily uses incredibly narrow definitions with very specific verbiage.
Using the word steal in OPs title is common use of the word, which aligns with the dictionary definition, they certainly are not quoting a legal definition
Get outta here with this dumb shit.
So much 'verbal' diarrahhea to try to make yourself feel better about what you're doing.
I pirate shit, that is a form a theft. Cope with it or stop doing it.
I was genuinely following your debate points until you got to:
I have been kind and polite our entire interaction. I didn't even initially downvote you. In fact, I initially upvoted you. If I've worded something in a manner that implied I was attacking you, my apologies.
I've simply offered a reason one might include a specific phrase in their definition. There is no reason to be this angry or insulting in such an innocuous and ultimately meaningless debate.
You made some good points. I feel I made some good points. That should be the end of it, whether we agree or not. There's no need to bring emotion into our interaction other than support for each other's valid points.
You're right, I got frustrated with work and took it out on you, I apologize.
No worries at all my friend.
