@Max I think this logic breaks with Kinsellas IP. Example: A breaks into B’s garage and discovers stolen bicycles. A calls C to inform them about the bicycles. A: clearly violates property rights C: however not, he just received information (IP), which he can then use as e wishes. That means C can use it as evidence or clue. Or would you still disagree here? :) View quoted note →

A violated B's property and must pay recompense, which isn't much considering he didnt break anything. B of course must return with compensation the bike.
