What is intellectual property theft?

You know what it is to rob someone's tangible property, such as a car or money. Did you know it's against the law to take someone's intangible property, such as a song, story, photograph, or artwork?

They may be guilty of stealing your intellectual property.

Intellectual property is indivisible, unlike traditional property – an infinite number of people can "consume" an intellectual property without it being depleted. Although a landowner can usually surround their property with a strong fence and deploy armed guards to shield it, a writer of information or an intellectual good can often do nothing to discourage their first purchaser from reproducing it and selling it at a lower price.
