Please don't use the word "steal" to refer to copyright 
infringement.  They're different crimes.  (In the US, copyright 
infringement is frequently the more severely punished one.)

That's almost as annoying as people who use the term 
"intellectual property" as if you can build a house on it and 
watch it accrue in value.
