Which is the greater crime: wasting the fruit, or picking the fruit because someone else has legal title over the tree?

That would depend on need. In most advanced economies sustenance is likely to be a very minor cause.

In any event, I'm not taking any moral stand on this, simply trying guess the disinclination to steal fruit.
