You agree to a poor understanding then!

A thief ALWAYS has a poor understanding of the efforts of others to make or buy the goods and wealth they have.

[WMarshal]

It is not theft if 3 conditions exist: 1) someone broadcasts energy that they themselves are not recapturing and would otherwise be lost, 2) usage of the energy by the person that captures it does not diminish the ability of others to utilize that energy as intended, such as listen to a radio broadcast, and 3) The person capturing the energy does not have to commit trespass or alter another's property to do so. If these conditions are met, it is not theft.

[WMarshal]

Does being on a public street but standing in the shade of a private building constitute theft of comfort?

I was at a outdoor concert in Tempe that was not free that was overlooked by an condo building. On the balconies of this condo there were people watching the concert for free. Were these people on the balcony stealing from the bands or just enjoying the benefits of the advantageous position of their private property or were they obligated to wear blindfolds and earplugs?
