I suppose it depends on the individual and what they feel is worth fighting for.Someone steals my financial or medical records,sure that's worth fighting for. My emails and passwords and other private content,heck yeah.The rest though,not personally worth it to me.
A huge majority of ppl steal content all the time.If I'm scrolling on FB and see a quote,cute puppies or something,I copy them to use as wallpaper or repost them,or whatever.How many ppl have avatars and profile pics they have "stolen"? Nobody asks permission,nobody gives credit to the original author or artist.It's just how things are.
