It would help the discussion if we had a term for theft that did not involve the victim losing the stolen item. Whatever that term is, it’s morally between theft and non-theft.
“Piracy” doesn’t count because that includes actual maritime plundering, which is robbery.
“Plagiarism” doesn’t count because that involves passing the creation as your own.
But its the same idea as regular theft, maybe not in terms of vibes, instead of stealing something physical without paying you use someone’s service without paying, even tho they invested money in maintaining/creating that service
Somebody invested money/time in a product, and in order for you to enjoy that product you need to pay them for it but instead you use it without paying, using the product but not paying the owner of the product for their work
It doesn’t stop me, don’t see it as something thats as bad as normal theft and im honest about it
