How about if I felt entitled to your house? Should I be able to just take it?
Other than the monetary value, please explain the difference between stealing an ebook and stealing a house.

Your argument is a false equivalence and I'm not going to waste my time on it.
If you buy a used book from anywhere, neither the publisher or author or anyone else associated with the production of that book got a penny from you. Is that theft?
And again, I am referring to books that are out of print. I'm not going to defend downloading a copy of 'Salem's Lot any more than I would defend stealing a copy from Barnes and Noble.
