It's honestly hard to say--suppose after a business trip, you arrived home
to find your car gone. Two hours later, your neighbor shows up with it.
You confront him and get any or all of the following:
"I borrowed it because you weren't using it"
"I called but you didn't answer your phone"
"I didn't ask because I knew you'd say "no""
Which would make you more angry? How angry would you get if your kept borrowing your car without asking? How angry
would you get if he
allowed his friends to drive it also?
Cheers,

If I broke into your house while you were on a business trip and made copies
of every application CD you own and used it would you even know about it?
Physically taking something and just digitally copying it (while leaving the
original in place) is not the same thing. One is theft, the other is a
copyright infringement.
