Is it stealing if when I buy digital I don't own it?

You own a license when you buy it digitally. Stealing is never okay regardless of if something is technically buying or not.

  • You can't steal something unless there is ownership of it by the other person. There has to be loss for it to be stolen. Stealing isn't ok, but downloading music or movies without paying isn't stealing.

    • >There has to be loss for it to be stolen.

      Counter example: Pirating a song is considered stealing as you are taking something for free without paying for it. You are using a definition that is different from the average person.
