If you own the*copyright*on something, someone else cannot make a*copy*of it without your permission. Copyright is therefore something of value. Infringing that right is misappropriation. http://www.copyhype.com/2013/09/why-copyright-infringement-is-theft/ <http://www.copyhype.com/2013/09/why-copyright-infringement-is-theft/> Most, if not all, states have theft laws that substantially track the Model Penal Code. For example, in my state of Louisiana, theft is defined broadly as follows: Theft is the misappropriation or taking of/anything of value/which belongs to another, either without the consent of the other to the misappropriation or taking, or by means of fraudulent conduct, practices, or representations. An intent to deprive the other permanently of whatever may be the subject of the misappropriation or taking is essential.Received on 2020-05-30 01:15:02
