You are being very silly indeed. The terms "patent" and "copyright" have completely different meanings, both by definition and legally. This is such an absurd argument I'm not even going to bother continuing. I don't think I've ever seen anyone double down so hard when so blatantly in the wrong.

Pending patents are also made public by the USPTO.

I think Bacon was an awesome writer, he didnt get paid...
If its fiction, of course.. Fiction books should always get paid..
However, fact books, should be free.. is called fact books?
I write a fiction book. Mister X hacks my computer and downloads it and releases it for free to the world. I would have made millions. I now make nothing. OP is saying that is not theft.
