A Bit of an Update on "Kitumba" (Sort Of)

[Tribble Herder]

However he got the footage, the fact remains that he has made unauthorized use of it, and for whatever reason, has failed to return it to its rightful owners.

I think "stolen" makes a nice shorthand description.

No, Tribble Herder. As Ian described this type of situation (you are given something for a purpose and fail to return it), the legal term is actually "conversion."

But throwing out terms that, in their nature imply something about a person's character, is probably not something the production wants to be involved in nor attributed to.
