These are good arguments. I'm not aware of theft-of-service laws being used against copyright infringement, possibly because copyright laws are more obviously applicable and call for vastly higher damages. Indeed it's the draconian nature of current copyright laws, and the intrusive tactics needed to successfully enforce them, that make me cautious about using analogies to theft rather than the specific tradeoffs of having copyright laws when we decide where the line should be drawn.
