No, that would be stealing, I would be depriving the original owners of a can of drink, What I would do isn't stealing, no one loses anything, or are you one of those people who wilfully spreads the misconception that copyright infringement = theft? If you are, well it doesn't. One deprives someone of a tangeable object, that actually costs something to distribute, the other is data that can, and is, being distributed virtually for free. Vijay.
