Blah blah blah... copyright violation. Close enough... stealing a pbook would be theft but not a copyright violation. Downloading an ebook that you don't have permission to copy is a copyright violation. The result is the same, you took something that didn't belong to you without paying for it. "Theft" in general is close enough. Why must people split these hairs. Does it make you feel better to not call it theft?
