In what way did Path "get a pass?" They got a lot of negative press, and it brought attention to this issue (hence blog posts like this one). Sure, people got vocally angry and then quickly forgot about it, but that's just what people do. It even happens with far worse things, like police brutality or even unwise invasions of countries.

What specifically do you want to happen? You say you want "Silicon Valley" to "publicly and vocally [condemn] this type of activity," but what would that actually mean? Last I checked, "Silicon Valley" doesn't exist as some unified entity that can issue public statements. Heck, Hacker News is some approximation of the culture of Silicon Valley, and the front page was filled with rage.

Also, incidentally, I find it interesting that you cite a dictionary definition for a word that in no way corroborates your usage of the word, even though I think I agree with your underlying point. Path didn't "take and carry away" anything, and the contacts on your phone hardly constitute "personal goods or property."
