%T	Copyright Infringement Still Isn’t Theft, Even When A Microsoft Employee Says It Is

%X	For basically all of Techdirt’s history, we’ve explained that copyright infringement is not “theft,” and that using that term is misleading in dangerous ways. It’s been a few years since we last mentioned it, but the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dowling vs. the US has always been the clearest legal statement on this point.
