Therefore, by your definitions, you are a thief.
It's up to me to give away a license for free - just like a paper book.
This is also anchored in copyright law (software).
But then I am not allowed to use this file.
And that's what I do when I loan the Reader out.
Your conclusion is wrong here too.
