Here in New Zealand, newspaper and television news reports often use the term "copyright theft" instead of "copyright infringement". (I'm guessing it's because they get a lot of copyright-related stories fed to them by the dishonestly named Federation Against Copyright Theft.) Hrmpf. From now on, I'm going to get off my bum and start complaining to TV/papers whenever I hear/see it.
