A lot of people committing morally wrong actions does not make it any less of a wrong thing to do...

Once again, you are conjuring up this whole legal angle to avoid agreeing to the fact that "copyright infringement" is stealing... You are the only person that was ever talking about technical legal issues. Of course they are different crimes. Noone ever said they were not.

The legal definition is the only one that counts.
That is quite wrong.

I have a Tivo and skip ads all the time, is this illegal too because the shows are not being compensated because I'm not watching their ad garbage? The way you look at it, anything could be considered stealing if you put the right spin on it.
I never said it was illegal... that was PvK. There is nothing wrong with presenting the other side of an issue in a debate. In fact, it is often a very good idea.

The way I look at it, only actions that are stealing can be considered stealing.
