"I get tired of otherwise knowledgeable people referring to copyright infringement as "theft". It is not. Legally, a test whether or not something is theft is 'loss of use'." Of course it's theft. Taking something without permission, which belongs to someone else is theft. Loss of use is a side issue. There are several ways in which something can be stolen without loss of use, more so now that a digital copy can be easily made. If you don't believe me, check out FACT (Federation Against Copyright Theft), a UK based organization which was started by software and music publishers in an attempt to kill off piracy. Your definition of theft may differ due to where you live. Copyright infringement most definitely is theft in UK law.
