We're talking here about stealing Intellectual Property. No, it's not a physical thing that you hold in your hand. But yes, it's still stealing.
If you come up with an idea for a machine that will solve the world's energy problems, and by the way make you rich... you blab about it to me at a bar... and I build it first, making the money that
you won't... I've just stolen your intellectual property.
But I guess you don't feel you've been wronged at all, do you?
