My thoughts exactly. IMHO, published data cannot - by definition - be stolen. Private data can.

- pbhjpbhj 15y agoI don't think I'd use the word steal in respect of copyright works. But here it is the moral rights which are being denied. How do you steal something given to you as a gift? Claim it was yours all along and so deny the owner their attribution. Even if the owner of the copyright retains access to the data you can still deny them their lawful attribution - that is what has arguably been stolen here I think.
