Some other metaphors that could be useful, from the world of finance:

1. Debasing, as in "debasing an author's IP rights".
2.Devaluing
3.Counterfeiting.

The useful thing about such metaphors is that they move away from the idea of theft as physical act, but keep the idea of harmful conduct that causes unspecified damage to specific people or public.

This metaphor game interesting is!
