This example is what makes much of the "stealing" claim bogus, both for this and many artifacts. The Japanese owner wanted it gone and considered it trash. It wasn't some beloved item. Even Sony didn't care.

And so much of what is considered "stolen" was given away by someone in that culture as trash.

That's the standard excuse of a thief. "I'm not stealing it, I'm saving it". Better stop the excusing.

Except that the owner is the one giving it away. The current owner doesn't claim theft.

The only people claiming theft are a third party that never owned the property in question or at the time gave it away freely.
