The result would be the San Francisco font... rendered terribly.

  Yes, I have tried SanFransisco and the results were terrible. Also I didn't want to look at information rendered by a stolen font.

    Digital information cannot be stolen.

      I would argue that it can. The question is if an individual finds it unethical or not, not if it's being stolen. Legally speaking at least.

        The argument is that for something to be "stolen" it has to be missing afterwards. An unauthorized copy is copyright infringement, legally speaking, not theft. Words mean something and there is a reason why right holders tried to coin this (pillaging, murdering) piracy to give it a bad connotation. Then the various "pirate parties" said if you want to call large swaths of the population pirates, then we will be taking that word from you (somewhat similar to pride movements).

          No contest. You've convinced me. For the record, I have little to no issue with "unauthorized copies", for the most part. I just disagreed with some of the phrasing.

          Interesting argument. Secrets can be stolen, but they're not missing after. Spies steal secrets, not copyright infringement them :)

            Espionage is also not theft in a legal sense

            > Secrets can be stolen, but they're not missing after. You technically lose the secret in this case, since it's not a secret anymore.

            > ...assuming the word has only one usage -- which it does not. To me it sounds like propaganda against information sharing, by coining negative words, like "piracy": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement#%22Piracy%22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement#%22Pira...

      Digital information cannot be stolen. The courts ruled on this last century. At least as far back as the 80's when people were stealing HBO from satellites with TVRO dishes in their backyard. It's time to stop beating that horse.

        The courts ruled it a crime, they did not rule it to be theft. Presenting it as such is a politically motivated distortion of the the facts.

      Whatever you have to tell yourself to relieve your guilt.
