DC...Is it theft?

Here's an interesting twist...Is Google trying to condone computer theft? Wasn't there a guy that is having federal charges brought against him for installing DC programs on computers at his work (school campus)?
If he is charged with this (if it is a crime) then everyone who installs this feature on their browsers at work will be a breaking the law.

Google will have millions of criminals working for them.

IMHO, DC is good but there are those that haven't a clue as to what is happening in the real world but have the power to make laws for us.

Re: DC...Is it theft?

It's opt-in so the user would have to activate the feature. Not all that much different than the user installing the client separately.
