The whole point of this thread was to distinguish between "innocuous" cases of copying without permission, which may or may not in fact be legal (e.g. for back-up or format shifting) and, for example, obtaining new material without paying when you could have paid.
That's why we were coming up with softer sounding words like "snaffle".
The cases that were being discussed were not ones that were seen as wrong (by definition in the original post), and certainly not forcing ones will onto anybody else.
