Hiya, Cooter.

 *>I have proven that your assumption that theft does not involve value to be

Nah.. You just did your typical assertion bullshit.  You've never quoted from 
your law books.  I've provided URL's to the actual Acts.

I provided dictionary definitions.  You asserted.  

You've proved nothing but the fact that you're a liar.

 *>The ultimate arbiter of this term is the law books, not the dictionary. 

Read the frigging Acts, moron.  The previous damn post provided it to you, fool. 
READ the thing.  Choke on it.  Weep.  Then piss off.  ;)

 *>Whether or not one is arrested for the crime of theft does not depend upon
 *>how a dictionary defines this term, but the law books...

Yeah, putz.  Dodge the issue.  Getting arrested for this theft of Apple II 
software is unlikely.  But it's still theft, you braindead basketcase.

 *>I already know that you can never see that Wrong requires Harmful Effect, to
 *>you it all completely a matter of rules...

I can see that you are in dire need of a cranial/anal extraction.  See to it.

You don't think that arbitrarily deciding what is harmful to the copyright owner 
is a "Harmful Effect"?  Fool.  Blind Fool.

By the way, moron. Here's another point you ignored.

You could check into this if you were honest too.  Heh.. Whatta funny concept!
