Rights belong to the owner, but the legal term for violating the rights
is not "theft". It's "infringement":
"2) in the law of patents (protected inventions) and copyrights
(protected writings or graphics), the improper use of a patent, writing,
graphic or trademark without permission, without notice, and especially
without contracting for payment of a royalty."
(First definition has to do with trespassing)
