It takes a lot of effort and risk to pick-pocket, so I guess it's ok if you do it by that logic.

Not sure about that argument.

Isn't the "effort and risk" usually what those in favor of patents propose? Lest there's no compensation of the inventor for their effort, and we stop having inventions or something?
