Well then obviously you agree it's not a matter of what the owner would have charged, but what you would have paid. Well said.
Copyright infringement is not like sneaking onto a bus or into a cinema; it's like copyright infringement. There are different laws for the same reason similes don't work here: because things are different from one another. But yes, sneaking onto property or vehicles owned by someone else certainly does result in a loss of resources that could be used otherwise.
