I agree with gerbick that theft is theft. We could get into a similar argument that's raging over the music/video games industry.

If you've obtained something that doesn't belong to you through sources other than official, if you've found something of great value lying in the street, bar or on the bus and have made no attempt to relocate it to it's rightful owner, then it constitutes theft.

But then, all that depends on the state of law and order where you live, and we are talking about Russia here.

The thing we've also got to consider here is how many Chinese sweatshops are now churning these things out and what other manufacturers are capitalizing on information gleaned from this guy.
