Okay, let's take apart your example one by one:

For example, if every night after I park my car on a public street someone comes and takes my car and drives it around and when they finish they bring it back and park it where I left it.
|
The car is stolen every night, plain and simple. The thief just happens to be particularly strange, and returns it.

Then based on your suggestion that every aspect of theft must be fulfilled. (When I go to get my car, it's there and there is not any physical damage then your suggesting that this does not constitute an act of theft?)
|
There doesn't need to be physical damage to constitute theft. All that's needed is some felony was commited and someone removed something of yours. Both are described above.
Quote:
1. It (the car) was there every morning when I needed to use it.
2. They didn't damage it.
3. They were going to bring it back.

The guy would have to have an insane lawyer to take the case, because he obviously stole it. Theft is not subsided because you didn't need the item at a certain time. There was a time, plain and simple, where the other person had it and you didn't.

These industries did their homework and they do have valid legal protection for their products and anyone who thinks otherwise is wasting his or her time throwing stones at an iron tank.

These industries did do their homework, yes. But they found that they do not have as valid legal protection as they'd like, so they're seeking a propaganda campaign to make their legal protection stronger, first in the mind's of people and then in the law's of the country. It's up to people to not fall victim to false cries of thievery.
When someone *copies* something, at no time, ever, does the original leave your hands. Thus, there is no thievery, no matter how you try to twist and turn the subject.
