I also don't steal. I download my books from online copies, which is copying, not stealing.
Cool, you hate creatives and feel entitled to their work on the basis of semantics
It's not semantics when "stealing" results in the loss of the original by the owner while "copying" just results in a new one being created.
TL;DR: ✨die mad✨
I mean that's literally semantics but whatever, if that's the definition you're going with then sure. If you ask me, you breached a contract and got a product out of it anyway, I'd call that stealing. I don't think scarcity even factors into whether it's stealing when it's all about whether it was a legit transaction. Lack of scarcity may help justify it when the distributor is a shithead but it doesn't make you not a thief.
-a proud thief, steal your shit, especially from Adobe fuckem
