Define "should". I think I should be given money for my forum posting. Unless you send me a fiver for reading my posts you're a dirty theiving arab.
And how is income deprivation like stealing anyway? It's depriving someone of income. Which you can be sued for in a private matter. Stealing is entirely different. Stealing is taking something away from someone permanently. Hell, even Joyriding isn't stealing ("Taking and Driving Away", etc).
I'm sure Open Office deprives a small number of sales that MS would have got for their Office suite. Does that mean the former is guilty of "stealing"?
