I'm not misquoting them. How do you propose I can cause someone to _literally_ have less money in their pocket, without me _literally_ taking it out of their pocket? Regardless of whether that pocket is a literal pocket, or a bank account? By definition I am "taking".

My act of piracy does not "very literally" cause any amount of money to be removed from the IP owner. And if the poster meant to invoke the more colloquial form of literally, they damn well shouldn't have qualified it with "very."
