But then the theft has the ugly sweater and you not. It's a physical object, the copy of an ebook is not. Yes, i agree, it's wrong based on your and my morality, though it's neither parasitism according to it's definition nor a theft in the proper meaning of the word. It's taking something without permission but it's not taking something away from it's owner.
