And in this discussion I mentioned the fact that media that was illegitimately 
copied is not "stolen". I'm not saying it is right to illegitimately copy 
media. That may or may not be true (considering the first copy priniciple of 
copyright law), but is besides the point. The point is that "stealing" or 
"theft" involves taking a material good (that obviously cannot be duplicated) 
without permission. While in illegitimate copying the original copy of the 
data is preserved.

Other than that, I fully support that we frown upon linking to online copies 
of books that were placed online without the permission of its publisher or 
author, in this forum.
