I did not invent the definition of "IP theft" or the laws around it.

But I suppose strictly speaking, theft is not the same word as stealing. I was not smart enough to get that. You're right, and I apologize.

Not that ad-blocking is illegal, it's not, but it does bypass payment to creators for content they provide. Which functionally acts the same as theft.

It is yes. Your ability to create new meaning for words is awesome.
