> You knowing that I eat 2 eggs in the morning when I don't want people to know is not you "stealing" information from me. Correct, you don't necessarily have to "steal" that information to find it out. If you hire me to cook to you breakfast with the understanding that your breakfast habits are confidential and I give that information away, then that is "stealing" information because I have a duty to keep that information private. If I spy on you while you are eating and figure it out and give the information away, then I did not "steal" the information because I don't have a duty to keep that information secret.
