You're right that counterfeiting devalues currency, but that doesn't make it stealing. Nobody would refer to counterfeit currency as "stolen".

- gpm 3y agoFraud involves lying, copyright infringement doesn't necessarily. Copying movies is copying things congress said you can't, a crime distinct from both theft and fraud. Piracy has for whatever reason been co-opted to refer to copying despite that having no relationship to piracy on the high seas, but no one is playing linguistic games to argue that they're the same thing so whatever.
