It may sound the same but making a copy of something is absolutely not the same as taking something. It’s an important distinction.
You're taking away the profit they deserve for the work and effort it took them to create the information.
And if I never intended to buy the product?
So you never intended to buy the product but you intended to use it?
Do you understand they are charging you for the usage, not for your intentions or moral views?

Exactly. They are twisting reality to justify their shirty actions.
They say there's no moral argument yet they try to defend themselves with more arguments, even as I say nothing about morality lol
Yes. If I don't think it's worth paying the price they're asking, I will download and play it for free. It if were not available to download for free, I would simply not play it. They lose nothing either way.
If I would have paid for it, but downloaded it for free simply because I could, you're correct they would be losing profits. But that's not always the case as you seem to be claiming.
