Really? I think it is a case of mapping onto the most obvious existing word. When you end up with something you did not pay for, most people would assume you had "stolen" it. The fact the metaphor doesn't line up perfectly is a problem, but it is the closest word I can think of that most people would understand.

The issue is that there should likely be different amounts of "bad" meted out to the two instances, and using the same word for both confuses that issue a great deal. I mean, by what you're saying, you can call killing a pig for meat murder as that's what we kill it what Damer did it. I'm contending we should have two words similar to how for killing we have "Slaughter" (Implies animals and farming for food), and "Murder" (Implies purposeful taking of a human life except for certain animal rights/vegan groups trying to use the overloaded meaning). Perhaps "Fringing"? "Freeping"? "Warezing"? etc.
