- earbitscom 15y agoYou can argue semantics all you want. To rely on the definition of theft as an argument while saying it should instead be called something that is described as an act of war that usually involves robbery seems like a pretty weak defense. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy
