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.

Why are you talking about theft? Illegally downloading something is not theft and comparing it to theft just confuses the arguments. You are totally wrong above when you say that I am guilty of theft.
