Forget ebooks. Who is standing on "firmer" moral ground: the person who lies to obtain something they're not entitled to have, or the person who steals to obtain the very same something they're not entitled to have?

If the person who lied also paid for the item, then the person who lied is definitely on firmer moral ground than the one who outright stole it.
Here's a scenario for you...a person lies about their age in order to rent a car (uses a fake ID). He/she pays all of the fees associated with renting the car. Another person steals a car. Who is on firmer moral ground?
