Ever heard of theft of services?

»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft_of_services
Theft of services is the legal term for a crime which is committed when a person obtains valuable services — as opposed to goods — by deception, force, threat or other unlawful means, i.e., without lawfully compensating the provider of said services.
So it isn't as cut and dry as your diagram suggests. The english language is a complex thing. Here, like piracy, the emphasis of the word theft is on "using without paying" rather than "taking without paying."
Last time i looked MOVIES, MUSIC, and APPLICATIONS were not a service. They are a product.

Last time I read my post I pointed out that the emphasis was on "using without paying" rather than "taking without paying."

The concept of "using without paying" as theft has been in law long before P2P and well outside of RIAA & MPAA influence.

the p2p argument is just an excuse to get away from the "unlimited" usage, and go to a much more profitable metered usage basis. You will see the carriers in this stange type of collusion when they don't have to be.

This is the anti-competition argument. When all companies pull the same sh*t, the consumer loses.
