If Buying Isn’t Owning, Piracy Isn’t Stealing.

That's why nobody got charged with theft, they were charged with criminal copyright infringement. Which carries a much larger punishment than just stealing a disc from your local big box store.

So the only way to "Buy" the content is "licensing" digital copies of it that still has the verbiage of "buy" on the "store" that you purchase it from.

You don't "buy" the content, you buy a license to use the content in a way that the copyright holder seems acceptable. And if you don't like it, fuck you, cause corporations are more people than people.
