Carmack said, “I copied files that I shouldn’t have. I think stealing is an uncharitable way to look at it since I didn’t benefit and ZeniMax didn’t lose, but I shouldn’t have done it, and I did.”
Maybe I'm not reading this correctly. However it seems an awful lot like what people pirating software argues. Maybe more so if someone downloaded a game and then said it sucked. They say I wouldn't have bought it anyway so they didn't benefit and the developer isn't out anything. I think it comes down to possession and intent.
