I dunno, bro. Both involve data that doesn't belong to the person 'copying' it and lost revenue to the victim. Not to mention that anyone on the street would definitly call identity theft a form of stealing. It looks like both popular opinion and the evidence is against you.

What evidence is that, exactly? Your anecdote? Your random assertion that any random on the street would agree with you? Besides, none of that even matters because you're using a very generous interpretation of one type of "identity theft" that may involve copying something and equating the concept of identity theft in its entirety to copyright infringement. They're two different sections of the law for a reason. They're not the same.


Shrug. They are the  same to me and the 15 people in my work place that I polled. You're kinda dealing only on your own opinion.
