Man A steals a million dollars.

Man B steals 1 dollar.

Which man is guilty of theft?

If you can somehow justify Man B because the quantity stolen is small, then maybe, your argument bears some water. But ultimately it is impossible, both are theft. If you read even 1 book out of a thousand illegally downloaded that you would have bought or otherwise read a legally purchased copy had you not downloaded it, you are guilty of theft.
