      In what world is getting something for free that the original owners are charging money for not theft?

      You engaged in a TOS with a service provider. The terms of your ownership were not negotiated and yet you tacitly agreed to the contract.

        The one we live in, where software is being sold to consumers with terms of service that say customers don’t own the software they bought.

          Right. You license it. Owning something isn’t the be all end all of commerce. Just admit you like getting free stuff.

          Do you complain about the Theme Park getting to keep all of its rides when you leave at the end of the day? You paid money to be there, surely you should get to take part of the park home with you.

        The key part of theft is taking the object away from the original owner, which doesnt happen with Piracy, its more akin to forgery than it is theft
