Didn't you read the post? It's for an "economics" project. It's for science... for academia. That makes it entirely legit. if this was exploitive, he'd be obliged to state that it was for a "Personal economics" project... but he didn't, so it's all good.	[reply]

That's like saying "I stole a car* but it's okay because it was for an 'economics' project so it's legit." * Or book, CD, movie, whatever...	[reply]

It's impossible to steal a movie. One could con someone into transferring the rights to a movie to oneself, but that would be fraud rather than theft. One can make a copy of a movie, and while that can be copyright infringement, it's not theft. Maybe you were referring to DVDs? Only the medium (DVD, Blueray disc, reel, hard drive) can be stolen.
