If you don't want to be considered a troll, then don't make these pithy comments.
1) The parent post did not use the word 'steal.'
2) The people that get up in arms about usage of 'steal' vs. 'copyright infringement' are making a semantic argument that is not really hard to understand. Whether you think that the semantic argument has merit or not is beside the point.
Your post makes it seem like you either do not understand the semantic argument (which I personally find unlikely, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt) or you are purposely acting like you don't understand it.
