Reply #116: It is copyright infringement AND it is theft.

[Orrex]

Copyright infringement is a distinct crime in and of itself, and it is wrong. Period.

On this point we have no disagreement, so you can stop repeating it.

Why not call a murder a "rape" or grand larceny "possession of a controlled substance"? Because each is a crime on its own, without calling it something else.

That's a red herring, of course, because you're pretending that the commission of one crime precludes the commission of others, which is obviously nonsense.

If someone breaks into a factory and steal an envelope of petty cash, the criminal isn't only guilty of breaking and entering. A single course of action can qualify as multiple crimes simultaneously.
