There's already a word for infringing on someone's exclusive rights. Some people believe that the word should be more sinister than it is, though. That's why they try to pick other words which aren't accurate, but will carry more of the tone that they personally believe should be associated with the act. They want to create associations with more serious behavior, that doesn't actually exist.
