Of course it's not comparable. If you download a book from the net, you don't prevent someone with a legal right of access from using it.

If you make up an identity to register and borrow the book - you DO prevent someone with a legal right of access from using it.

Morally, downloading from the net is much less damaging to others....

But both are not to be condoned...
