Yes, in the other cases I am doing EXACTLY the same thing. Across the board, they were hoping for a sale, and they didn't get a sale. The reason WHY money didn't change hands has no measurable impact whatsoever on their bottom line (unlike actual theft, where the reason matters greatly because they lost not only the sale but also the means to ever make one.) Zero equals zero, whether I wind up with a copy of the thing or not.

Something hoped for or expected is not the same as something that is already in one's possession. If it were, no product or company would ever fail, and everyone who ever bought a lottery ticket would be a millionaire.

So you're saying that taking a physical copy of a game would be stealing because you're taking a finite resource where as taking a digital copy would not be because it's an infinite one?

That's one way of expressing it, and I believe that very concept has been proposed and chewed over more than once by much smarter people than me.

except in pre -internet days there was E looked more like "if I want it, I have to buy it".

Digital copying isn't the same as 'stealing' would be better if you use the borrowing arguments, as in you are borrowing a copy the same was as someone who got one from a library or borrowed from a friend.

Otherwise you are demanding a very narrow focus and definition to prove your point.

No, not necessarily. In pre-interet days there already were ways to copy movies, music or whatever. Maybe not as easily but it was there.
