Again, not quite. In your example you actually steal a tangible object (the owner no longer has it), in the first example you download a file (violating copyright, perhaps, but the owner still has it.)
But the moral standard SHOULD be, "Did YOU pay for it". Forget about who has the physical object.

And BTW, the OP is a TROLL. S/he knows the answer, they just love throwing s*&% in the game.
