alt Hacker NewsWe live in confusing times.
Steal one mp3 and you might get fined thousands, steal a book from your local shoppe and the police would come visit you. Forge a signature and you would also be in trouble. Hack a government website and you will have to answer some questions.
Steal all the books in the world, forge millions and this story begins to tell and nothing happens.

Like the saying goes, if you steal one of the world's books, you have a problem. If you steal a million of the world's books, the world has a problem.

After all that has been said and written on this topic, people still manage to conflate theft with intellectual property violation, real or imagined.
