Just a note: illegal/illegitimate/unallowed copying of intangible media is
not "stealing" or "theft" or "piracy", either legally or morally. It is
simply that - "copying". Stealing actually means a tangible property was
taken away without permission. Copying intangible media may or may not be
OK, but nonetheless is not "stealing", because the original copy is left
perfectly OK.
