Copyright infringement is formally defined in law, and it's not defined as theft. And no, I'm not condoning or supporting copyright infringement, even though copyright law is now insanely out of control. I'm merely pointing out the incontrovertible facts.

I am a little bemused by your reaction, why attack the thread author merely because the title is technically not correct, surely the point of the thread is that we should beware that this could happen to any images we post here. Being pedantic about the OPs choice of words really is probably not the sort of response the OP expected.
And for those that want to b-anal about it, copyright infringement is no longer defined as theft, case law Dowling vs USA (1985).
