    Deliberate misunderstanding....

    Have anyone here heard any of these expressions?

    "You stole my heart"
    "He stole a look at the diary"
    "He stole the puck from his opponent"
    "To steal a base"
    "To steal research from colleagues"
    "He stole my job"

    OF COURSE infringement is not stealing, in the legal sense. Stealing, as in removing someones physical property, is only ONE way this word is used. You are all (deliberately?) misunderstanding Logan.

    The expression "stealing" is used a lot metaphorically for people to state the significance of an act and that it's not right. It can be any act, like these examples show. Logan is not saying that stealing is the same thing as infringement, like you claim. He's saying that it is just as bad morally.

    You are all just pettifogging. There is a real issue here are your not even touching it.
