The judge is the one who can throw it out of court before a jury is even

The point being, everything not explicitly forbidden is permissible.

But, you seem to forget that patent infringement and copyright
violation _are_ explicitly forbidden. By law.

And, more importantly, by ethics, since what isn't yours isn't yours
to use as you see fit.

I don't understand why that's such a difficult concept to come to
terms with, since if someone took something of yours that was
valuable, without your permission, and sold it for their own gain
without even giving you credit for it, I'd expect that you'd be
unhappy with that.

Wouldn't you be?
