Wait, copyright infringement isn't theft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowling_v._United_States

So you're just wrong, technically as well as practically.

Interesting. I didn't know that.

What is the correct term for taking something that isn't yours?

Spoken like a true gentleman.

I suppose that you're referring to "theft", but copyright infringement isn't theft: it's just infringement. So, mind your terminology in the future, and you'll be just fine.
