I don't understand you. If you wanted to specify that each case (theft;copyright) has its own law then you should say that the comparison is "wrong\mistaken". But you said "dishonest". I took it as you trying to justify something. Like saying that one is not as bad as the other. So I answered that they all can be sued for damages and are the same morally (given law as a base).

In my country (I can't speak for USA), copyright falls under civil law, and theft under criminal law. The laws and punishments are different precisely because they are not the same morally. You don't have to compare copyright infringement to theft to make your point. Copyright infringement can be proven to cause damage on its own merit, with its own law. Articulating these are different does not equal saying the law is insignificant, that's a straw man. Besides that, we're talking about alleged copyright infringement. You need to start using the appropriate technology if you want your point to be taken seriously. If it does not interest you to be correct when you're speaking about law, please refrain from making statements regarding law.
