You deprived someone of the revenue generated by their property. Still theft.
If you squat in an apartment, is that theft?

- 0-O-0 6y agoThat's not a good analogy either. Apartment is a physical, limited resource, using it denies it to its owner and deteriorates its condition. Digital copy shares none of the properties with a physical resource. Revenue from a purchase that I'm not going to make is non-existent. It can't be lost or gained.
