Sort your legal definitions. Copyright infringement is not theft.

Would if I could. Still not theft. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What a glorious world that would be... I'd absolutely upload you a car, if you upload me a good drink. Or maybe we can put a FOSS car on GitHub?

I'm sure once such a project becomes technologically feasible, FOSS designs will happen.

Why do you think this matters?

Why does using the proper definition of words matter? I think that should be fairly obvious.

"Downloading copyrighted music is murder."

Ok, then downloading copyrighted music should be punished like murder.

Oh, it isn't Murder?

Well, it also isn't theft. So it shouldn't be punished like it is theft or treated like it is theft in conversation. It should be punished like and treated as copyright infringement, which it is.
