> Yes, copying IS theft - you are depriving the owner of the content from having you not having the content. What does this even mean?

  Before, the owner had this cool thing. It was a bit abstract. But the thing that they had was this. They had a state of being in which you didn't have the content. If you now have the content, you've deprived them of existing in this state. A state where you didn't have it. Or at least that's how I read it.

      Lol, anytime. It is a bit of a tortured construction. I don't know if I got it right or if it was said seriously.
