let's not use the word theft here, as it is not stealing .. to be class as theft you need to cover the proofs of the offence, one of these proofs are to deprive a person of the item. As you are not depriving anyone of the item it is not theft.

It could be covered under copyright violation..

but what I would class it as .. seeing you have made a contract (with overdrive) and you are violating that contract (you agreed to the contract with no intention to follow the restrictions) then that would be "gaining benefits by deception" which in most countries is a criminal charge. But I would be surprised if a court would waste their time on such a minor issue, at most all I would imagine would be to have your account closed.

But saying it is a minor issue .. does not make it right!! and this brings me back to my point the whole time.. IF you wish to do this then so be it, but please don't tell other people it's legal and you will not get into trouble. TELL THEM THE WHOLE TRUTH..
