OK come on are you really just a very cleaver satirist or are you really that blatantly Wrong again He is not asking if the general concept of SHARING is theft ... He is asking if the specific activity of illegal file sharing is Theft ? and the answer is of course yes.... It seems as though the whole concept of the illegal aspect of file sharing is beyond your ability to understand ?? Maybe I can help clarify .... Its real simple... LEGAL file sharing is Sharing and ILLEGAL file sharing is THEFT plain and simple ... This ain't rocket science !!!

Taken as the words are commonly accepted it would be very difficult to make a claim that they can occur at the same time.
Well you might be on to something here !!! perhaps the words "Illegal file sharing" should be changed to ...Illegal Misappropriation and or Distribution of Copyrighted Material.. or the acronym IMDCM for short ???? That way the conceptually challenged may be less confused ?? what do ya think ???
