It is a pity that your argument is incomprehensible because your misuse of the terms.

In a civil case, the claimant would request compensatory (and likely punitive) damages for a loss suffered when the download(s) took place. While it is true that stealing is a criminal offense, "taking what doesn't belong to you" can reasonably be considered stealing, in a non-legal sense. You can't be "clapped in irons" for this sort of stealing. Well, unless you've become involved in a criminal conspiracy. That's another story.
