I am ashamed that I hadn’t reasoned this through given all the rubbish digital services have pulled with “purchases” being lies.

You can't really "steal" services, even though they sometimes call it that.

If you hire me to paint your portrait and then don't pay me you have stolen my labour. I have given my time and effort and have not been reimbursed for it.

If you paid me and then gave your neighbour a copy of your portrait then you have not stolen my labour.

No, that's not theft. That's fraud.
