Mincing words to justify breaking the law?

By the way, if you look it up in a Websters, "steal" means to "take dishonestly and secretly." It has nothing to do with anyone losing anything. Stealing is in the act of taking.

In the instance at hand, the dishonesty and secrecy would be in taking without the knowledge or consent of the publishers.
