What about design theft, ID theft, code theft....?
Let's say, i'm a college student, classmate of yours and i download your homework without your permission. You would not mind? You still have the original, so it doesn't matter right? Let's say, i'm pissed at some whore, i break into her computer, download photos, and publish/sell them on the internet. No problem?
