If I shoplift a bag of Doritos, the shop has one fewer bag of Doritos.
If I pirate a show, it doesn't disappear from Disney's hard drives.
People use "steal" like that all the time. "You stole my idea." "He stole my look!" "She stole my song." Etc... So I don't really think that's a very good argument.
What's a good word for "obtaining digital content without paying for the right to possess said digital content"?
The shop doesn't care about the Doritos. The owner isn't going to eat them. The shops only care about getting paid by who takes the Doritos.
