Copyright infringement isn't the same as physical theft. If stealing physically, you literally take away the object so that they are deprived of it.

A better AAAANAAAALOOOOGYYYY would be that you used a pricy device you bought earlier to make a carbon copy of the car you saw in the street. Then later you disposed of this copy-car and purchased an identical car.

Perhaps that's because the OP used an analogy, not a metaphor.

Just so you know, that's called a test drive and the dealers don't really mind.

It was a car he found being warmed up in a private driveway as he was walking his dog.

And by stealing it, he is supporting the auto-theft world. And not everyone in that little world ends up returning the car to buy their own to support the dealer or auto-company.

Look, as a Devil's advocate, I have to point out that leeching a torrent actually hurts the other downloaders. Consider it a vigalante act.
