I'm not talking about being obliged to share. Of course people should have the right to not share their credit details. My point is that if you receive information from someone, then choosing to share it with a third party is not stealing.

Actually, an obligation to share information is a restriction on freedom just like copyright, which can prohibit sharing information.

Right, so when you give your credit card info to a vendor, they are free to pass it on. They have no obligation to keep it private between agreed upon parties.

It's wrong if they share it. But then they did not 'steal' the information. They shared it (wrongfully).
