This is definitely shitty.

Related: JerryRigEverything just came out with a video about this and titled "I got robbed" and called it theft a bunch of times. This is copyright infringement, maybe trademark infringement, but not "theft" or "robbery". No property or money was taken from any party such that they no longer have access to it. It's important to be accurate about this.

Edit:

Here is a list of all the media I've found surrounding this that falsely claims stealing, theft or robbery:

I havent watched it yet but now I will not watch it for the blatant baiting.
Thought it was about the bunker he was building...

Copyright infringement is also known as intellectual property theft. I still disagree with his choice of video title.

"Intellectual property" as a concept is designed to trick people into thinking copyright, trademark, and patent infringement are equivalent to theft. It's an incorrect and pernicious use of the word "theft".
