You’re not stealing stuff, you’re stealing revenue. The missing revenue is what they care about. But they have plenty of that already, so they can get bent
Stealing revenue it's hypothetical, because it supposes that you were going to pay for the product if it wasn't available pirated. And that is far from being certain.
That is very true, but that doesn’t stop them from going after piracy to protect the revenue
