It very much is like stealing. It's one thing to share a password for the people in your household, but to buy a personal sub as a business/government and share with almost a dozen coworkers is something else.
And I guarantee you this judge wouldn't have done this "WTF even is a 'password' anyways? What constitutes ‘distribution’ or ‘share’?" if this was Netflix or Disney suing you.
You cannot own information, thus it cannot be stolen. You can only attempt to control access on an agreement basis. But that basis has nothing to do with legality. And shouldn't because that's retarded
That’s a nice-sounding platitude, but at a certain level it runs into the same issues Communism does: if someone doesn’t have a right to make a living off their work, they can’t or won’t spend time doing that work.
The only theory of Property that allows something like IP to exist is one based on labor value. It doesn't "reach the same problem as communism" intellectual property IS communist legal theory. "My effort and labor should be rewarded" fuck off.
Property isn't about getting people to work. So frankly I don't give a single fucking shit if people "cant make a living" off using men with guns to force you to pretend you don't know something.
For Property to exist it must have Scarcity and Exclusivity. Intellectual property has neither.
Intellectual Property is about the stupidest legal doctrine after central banking.
Posting a link to a news article isn't stealing. Neither is sharing the password for a pay site.

Wow what a fucking stupid response.
