I'm not sure this is theft.it is abuse or manipulation. The same way ripping a movie or copying an artist is not theft, that's abuse or plagiarism.

- Daishiman 6y agoNo, it's theft, plain and simple.
- cbozeman 6y agoYour second example is copyright / intellectual property infringement.
- steve_adams_86 6y agoI'm not sure I understand your logic. Isn't it abuse or manipulation performed in order to accomplish theft? How is what you're describing not resulting in theft?
- hirako2000 6y agoBecause the laborer can refuse to be abused/manipulated. A worker has all the information at hand to see he is being exploited. To me, theft is when something is taken away from someone without consent. By force or by subterfuge.
- ddingus 6y agoNo. In your infringement example, it is proper to not call it theft. Nobody is denied property they have title to. Here, people are denied property they have title to. It is theft.
