There seems to be an inordinate amount of discussion on exactly what word or words (e.g. steal, pirate, violate copyright, etc) to use to describe the activity that occurs when one downloads, copies, or otherwise obtains software or music against the wishes of the copyright holder. I propose we coin a term for this activity and then get on with the debate. The Slashdot community is composed of enough alpha geeks that the term would quickly enter the nerd vernacular.
I propose the verb "sket". Others? Example sentences?
