I very much doubt it. The Supreme Court declared a while ago that copyright infringement is not theft.

- ErrantX 15y agoThanks, that's good info. I'm surprised. When the issue of auto-theft came up (many years ago) the ruling was very different. Legally speaking if you took a car for a spin and dumped it (back with the owner, or whatever) this was technically not theft - as there was no intent to permanently deprive the owner of the car. I'm pretty sure they ruled it was still considered theft - off the back of similar legislation changes in the UK.
