Perhaps a modest proposal is in order to avoid that messiness: Given Stonetools' comments above, instead of using the terms "stealing", "file sharing" or "copyright infringement", can we simply use "genocide" to describe the practice of downloading a file without colour of right?

I'd be OK simply with using " copyright infringement,". What its called is less important than noting that it causes substantial negative effect.
