It's infringement, which is functionally closer to 'unauthorized borrowing' were it a physical object. Yeah, you can not really argue that it is ethical, however they are not losing any inventory. They try to argue that they are losing hypothetical purchases, but you can not even estimate that very well because it is impossible to tell who would have actually purchased it and who is downloading it just because it is not costing them money. Copyright infringement is a better description of it because in reality you are copying it not taking it. Copyright infringement is punished harsher than physically taking things from a store I wonder what the penalty for getting convicted of breaking into a studio and stealing the physical copy of the movie compared to convicted of pirating over internet its probably harsher because its more hassle to go after someone pirating music/movies. way too many people and you can't really prove who was using the computer who did it. so they throw a stiffer penalty on it to hope to scare off people. at least thats what I assume I mean with the part about being too many people its sorta like this joke I read once, something about you its actually a thing you can't become a CIA operative if you've pirated music (and they know about it of course) so "the year is 2030, and the CIA is reduced to 12 octogenarians sitting around a dusty table) --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
