Incorrect again.
Statements by judges
that become law are, at that point,
law. Until that point, they are opinion. That opinion can, and often is, considered precedent. Precedent is not law though.
But I tell you what, if you can link to any information showing a statement or opinion by a judge stating that copyright infringement
is theft(not "like" theft, not "no different to theft", not "legally akin" to theft etc etc) and has resulted in laws being amended so as to legally classify copyright infringement as theft and has resulted in someone being charged with theft for copyright infringement, then I will gladly retract my position and publicly declare you are correct in every way.
