The penal code necessarily uses incredibly narrow definitions with very specific verbiage.

Using the word steal in OPs title is common use of the word, which aligns with the dictionary definition, they certainly are not quoting a legal definition

Get outta here with this dumb shit.

So much 'verbal' diarrahhea to try to make yourself feel better about what you're doing.

I pirate shit, that is a form a theft. Cope with it or stop doing it.

    You do understand the difference between penal code and the definition of a word, no? Surely the reason why the two are not at all even slightly interchangeable is plainly clear to anyone of reasonable intelligence.

    I guess you can't steal anything when you just decide to limit the definition of the word.

    But if we're in reality and using the way words are actually defined then yes you can steal something intangible, and no it does not require someone to be deprived of something.
