    Not to mention, it’s not theft because the original is still intact.

    If I go steal a car, I’m taking the physical item and depriving the owner of said item.

    If I download a movie, the movie is still there, it has been copied at best, not “stolen.”

    It’s like watching a baseball game from the fence, sure you didn’t pay for the ticket, but you’re not occupying a seat so that someone else can’t pay to use it.

    If I download a movie, it doesn’t take it off netflix so nobody else can enjoy it.
