I don't think the ease of downloading files is at all comparable to the ease of shoplifting.

You're right. Downloading is much easier. Shoplifting requires one to:

1. Get out of the house

2. Remove an actual product from a physical store, so the loss will be physically noticed

3. Defeat the RFID tags on the merchandise (most stuff worth shoplifting is tagged)

4. Walk past the store greeters without looking suspicious (something an average mostly-honest person would struggle with)
