Confession...

If I go to a digital distributor with £30 and buy a game, leaving me with £0 and then download another game illegally from elsewhere instead of buying it, the same number of products remain in circulation and I had no money to pay for it. Nobody has been deprived of anything. This is not theft.

By that logic, one person could buy a game and get pirated copies for everyone else and nobody will be deprived of anything. Sounds silly doesn't it? That's because it is.
While you are right about not stealing any physical copies, you are in fact stealing by pirating. You're not stealing anything that was made in a factory, granted. But you ARE stealing many hours of hard work from people who have worked towards making a game. Imagine if everyone that worked towards making this game had to split those £30. This merry wonderland world you live in just doesn't exist. If it did, pirating wouldn't be portrayed as a problem or a crime.
