What is your definition of "stealing"?

Does it have to be something physical? I see threads all the time on the FB and BB boards about a stream for the game. It translates to "how can I steal something they are charging for but I don't want to pay for it." Is anything on the internet fair game? When I was a teenager and wanted "free" music I had to go into a store and shove a CD down my pants and hope I didn't get caught. There were repercussions if caught.

Downloading torrents of music other people have ripped - illegal

Using a website or program to download mp3s pulled from YouTube videos - legal-ish

If you don’t really have to do much labor, then it’s probably illegal.

If I pay for tv and I'm not at home, I don't think watching a stream is illegal.

If I "cut the cord" and use the same stream, that's illegal.

Well, for me, I knew this girl once, and we'd steal away every chance we could. We'd go to the backroom, or the alley; even the trusty woods. I used her and she used me, but really....neither one of us cared because we were getting our share .

I remember hearing illegally downloading music back in the day called "little thieves stealing from big thieves."
