But a large portion of the population, probably a majority, doesn't consider copyright violation stealing. You say it's stealing because copyright is part of our tradition and because the IP movement promotes that particular narrative. I would tend to argue that copyright violation isn't stealing, it's mostly a civil matter rather than a criminal matter.
