Unfortunately, that same preciseness can cause people to lose awareness of the general concept the precise term falls under (accidentally or otherwise). Copyright violation and theft, while legally are two separate things, are the illegal taking of something that doesn't belong to the taker. Lawyers make a mint capitalizing on those distinctions.
