The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you've already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

If no one thinks that, why are you saying it right now?

...huh?

Actual theft of intellectual property would involve somehow tricking the world into thinking you hold the copyright to something that someone else owns.

...no? What are you talking about? All it involves is illegally copying someone else's work.

Isn't 'theft of intellectual property' taking someone else's work and try to pass it off as your own?
