"you are guilty of 'Theft of Services'"
The legal definition is not the same as the literal or figurative meaning of a word, which also may differs from its connotation.
Edit: Also while it might be called "theft of service" and considered larceny in US, in Sweden the same act is called "fraudulent behavior" and is a lesser form of fraud.
- varjag 16y agoWell it's a two-way street. We could then argue that figurative meaning of "copyright infridgement is stealing" is not the same as it's legal definition, too.
- alextgordon 16y agoWe could, but then we'd be trying to pin down a precise definition for a concept that is subjective and culturally dependent. Pointless to even try.
