Yes, because laws with teeth to prevent theft is Orwellian. 

theft, lol. This is digital. You want to lock people up for "stealing" some duplicate copies of code.

Theft, lol. Books are just ideas put to paper. You want to lock people up for "stealing" duplicate copies of books? - Some guy that didn't understand copyright laws circa 1805. 

Theft, lol. Inventions are just new ideas, and discoveries put to use. You want to lock people up for "stealing" ideas and discoveries? 

Theft, lol. Identity is just a meaningless designation given to an individual at birth. You want to lock people up for "stealing" an arbitrary designation? 

We can do this all day. Just because something isn't physical, doesn't mean it doesn't deserve protection under the law.
