From my understanding theft has always been to take something and after the other party doesn't have it anymore. This never applied to piracy.

For example: I used to pirate games back in school as I didn't have the money to buy them. So there is no financial loss for the company. Yet they still frame it as bank robbery or something. "You wouldn't download a car"

Back when I played GTA 4 I DID download so many cars.
