How do you steal something that is infinitely reproducible?
If you have an apple and I steal it, you cannot eat the apple.
If you have a movie, I can copy it and you can still watch it.
Say for instance, there was a magic apple machine that copied apples infinitely with zero loss. If not intentionally destroyed, access to this machine would be restricted by the first party with enough capital to acquire and protect it. Using the machine to copy apples would also be considered stealing.
You people have recited that bullshit for as long as I can remember usenet. You've stolen the right to distribution and taken money out of progress 6 hands.
Invent whatever little story you need to live with it.
