Piracy has never been stealing. At worst, it’s a form of copyright infringement. It can’t be stealing because you’re not technically taking anything from anyone but just making a copy.
How do you figure that it’s not stealing? The way I see the word stealing used it seems that piracy would fit under that definition. There is plenty of times we would say someone stole something that isn’t physical. Example of someone has an idea and they tell me and I go and take that idea to market before them they would say I stole it even though they still have their idea.
You have an actual loss in that scenario, but in the case of digital piracy most people wouldn’t have bought it anyway. Hence, no lost sales.
