pantheraleo,
"Ok, I know you and all the other people out there who think you should be able to just take whatever you want and not have to pay the author / artist / developer for their work will not like this one. But theft is a major problem online that needs to be dealt with."
Pedantic: copyright infringement != theft
Theft occurs when one deprives the owner of the original.
Taking a picture of art in a museum can be considered copyright infringement, but it is certainly not the same thing as thieving the original.
