"Theft implies that you are deprived of the item once it's stolen - this is not the case here."

Yeah, exactly. If I write a book, and one person buys it, and a billion people copy it from that person (and I sell just one copy in total), there is nothing wrong, because I still have my book.

I am glad that most of people dont think this way, because we would not have any books in our world.

Piracy has been around for decades, may be making a resurgence thanks to the balkanization of media streaming services and yet we still have movies, music & TV.
