     "I work at a software company and am an engineer by profession
     so i know this is technically possible"
I hate it when people say this. Just because you also happen to work for a completely different company in the same industry, it doesn't give you any insight whatsoever into how things operate anywhere else.

Better not tell the Pebble watch people then, they might get sued.

If we can't help you, but feel that your case is something our cooperating attorneys may be able to assist with, we'll offer to refer you to one of them.

> If you go to a lawyer for legal advice and then refuse to pay him saying "I haven't deprived you of a tangible product so it's not really stealing" you are missing the point, it's still theft.

That is theft because you've robbed the lawyer of his opportunity cost. For the time he was spending giving you legal advice, he could have been giving it to someone else that would pay him.

A more apt analogy would be secretly listening in on a lawyer giving legal advice to a paying client. You haven't taken anything away from him or the paying client, and all you've done is "copied" what was being heard anyway.
