The way I see it is that piracy IS stealing. Not of the digital items but of the income that they potentially would have had. But I just don't give a fuck
The word "potentially" is doing a lot of work there.
In many cases of piracy, the result of not pirating the work would not have been more income for the rights holder, it would have been the person just not acquiring a copy of the work at all.
