Exactly. Here's another example. I collect restaurant menus. If I eat
in a new place and want to add their menu to my collection, I'll ask if
they have paper menus. If they don't, on occasion the server or manager
will just give me one of their table menus. I wouldn't think of
stealing one! Someone's paying for that five-finger discount and it's
*us*, the consumer.
