If you are going to build an analysis on the notion of theft and law enforcement, you also need to acknowledge that the concepts of "market" and "market share" are also a part of western capitalist thought.
My aim is not to enforce western laws as an end in themselves, but I have no compunctions about using those laws as a tool. Free licences can also be viewed as tools for achieving free knowledge. If we really want knowledge to be free we have to stop treating it as a market commodity. Once it belongs to everybody it's no longer stealable.
