FBI Half-Life 2 Raids [Jan 19, 2004, 5:02 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A weblog post
mentioned in a
Slashdot story apparently gives the account of a San Francisco native's
encounter with the FBI as the fed's raided his home looking for evidence in
connection with the theft of the Half-Life 2 source code (story).
According to Slashdot (since the site has been, naturally enough, Slashdotted),
the blog includes a scan of the FBI's search warrant. Thanks Captain Trips.
Yes there is. You can't steal intellectual properly. Theft is when you take something away from someone. If you copy code, it is not theft.Wow, semantics. WHAT A GREAT ARGUMENT! I AGREE WITH YOU 100% NOW BECAUSE HE WAS OBVIOUSLY COMPLETELY WRONG FOR CHOOSING A SLIGHTLY INACCURATE TERM!!
Oh wait...

2. To get or effect surreptitiously or artfully: steal a kiss; stole the ball from an opponent.I believe that this usage falls under "to get surreptitiously".
(Please note that I use capslock for sarcasm, not yelling. I know it's not a common usage... think of it as a dialect...)
