Question

Shalom and blessings,
I copied from a friend a play that they put on in their seminary and showed there, and afterwards whoever wanted bought it from them for money. My question is whether there is theft in my having copied it, since I am not in the same seminary, and what I should do now.
Thank you.

Answer

Shalom u'vracha 

If it is intended for sale, it is forbidden to copy it. 

Someone who copied something that is under copyright must delete it.
