If limited copyright is legalized theft, then so is limited patents. This means that every invention which is based on some other invention without permission is theft.

If you really mean that, then give up everything which is based on "stolen" inventions. Don't wear clothes, everything you're wearing was invented by someone. Don't live in houses. No knives, someone invented that. Even fire, the means for starting fires was invented.

And if you really think that limited copyright is theft, do you pay for all of your public domain books?

And further, if limited copyright is some sort of "warped understanding" of property, then why is copyright of any sort only 300 years old?
