It's not theft. It's copying or copyright infringement.

If it was theft, the owners wouldn't have it anymore.

The words matter because they change your moral intuition about it.

    It will be interesting to see how the MPAA tackles Hotfile now that they are restricted in the language they can use. It probably means that the term “copyright infringement” will be used more often than they had hoped.

    To be continued.

    This was written back in 2013. Does anyone know how that shook out?
