Instead of spewing random bullshit. Why not admit taking software content without consent is theft.

As for your specific lawyer like examples....

rape - yes
kidnapping - yes
no santa - no, can't steal a lie in the first place
phone number = yes, identity theft O.o
regaining your stolen stuff = no, that's simply reclaiming your property.

So you've clearly never studied the law in the least bit.  Head's up - neither rape nor kidnapping is theft by any legal definition.  For something to be theft, personal property has to be taken.  A person is not property, nor is the sanctity of their genitelia.  Also, because nothing is taken, piracy is not theft.  These things may all be crimes, but not one of them is theft.  Taking your stuff back from thieves, however, can be theft, while getting someone's phone number in and of itself is not even remotely identity theft. You actually have to use the information to imitate the person for it to be identity theft.

 

Please, for the love of god, please go learn about these things before you continue to spout nonsense.



You do not have the right to never be offended.
