The guy in my example stole money: the income of the library owner, who could equate to an author or publishing house.
Why would the library owner bother establishing another library; why would the author who is not being paid royalties bother to write another book (except for love of writing)?
The thing which has been stolen is not the a physical item, like a book, but money and the means of earning it.
Seems to me that the law hasn't caught up with technology.
