Wearing my techie hat I agree with you. But when I start thinking like a 'troublemaker' I see examples like this:
I hold you up at knife-point and take a book from you. I then stuff the price of the book in your pocket and walk away. Obviously this should be legal, because the end result is just the same as if I just bought the book from you in the first place. Right?
The analogy here is clearly not perfect. But the point is that end results are not the only consideration; process matters too.
