Browsing the web is equivalent of your butler shouting to another butler to please GET /some/page, and the other butler then kindly replying with a document.

Theft requires the action to not be voluntary, but a web server replying with a page is free to reject my request. It is entirely moral.

The torrent accepts my clients request.

My mp3 player will play that song you downloaded as well.

It's like your butler downloading a torrent with a song played to you.

I won't argue pirating is not moral. But it has the same morality as blocking ads.
