It's very difficult to read that article due to all the fake-oh foreign phrases used to create painfully long names for coffee drinks.
I don't think using their half-and-half is stealing. If they don't want people using the half-and-half they shouldn't leave it out there.
I don't really like Starbucks coffee all that much, and I detest the stupid names (when I am in there I ask for a large coffee, and they correct me but I refuse to use those dopey names).
BUT it is really odd that certain businesses become stylish to disparage. Starbucks is just another big chain but for some reason it is considered cool to mock them. Much like McDonalds, everyone has to say bad things about McDonalds when it comes up, as if Burger King and Wendy's and Pizza Hut are all health food restaurants or something. It's a cheap lazy way to appear to be hip or stylishly blase or something.
