Content piracy is not theft it is copyright infringement. The difference is in theft I am physically removing something from someone else, as in they don't have it any more. Comparatively when someone downloads a song, it's copying it, so the original person doesn't lose what they had. Furthermore it falls under different law in the courts.

So the use of language... "need to steal cars" is not accurate, nor relevant here.

I wouldn't need to steal cars if i could afford them.
That argument just show a lack of property than anything else.
You don't have a natural right to have the stuff, the world don't owe you stuff just because you cant make means to pay for it. such entitlement...

If you cant afford then don't buy it just like any other product.
