It's purchasing ≠ owning, then piracy ≠ stealing

Piracy is never stealing, since you are not removing anything from anyone. This does not include actual piracy, the one with ships and rum.

I don't believe piracy is treated as stealing from a legal sense, already.

That's true. If I steal 20 copies of some avengers movie from Walmart and give them away on the street, I'll pay a couple thousand dollars in fines, tops. If I'm caught seeding an avengers movie to one person downloading from me in Serbia, I'll be fined more money than most people make in their entire lives

Partially agree, because if purchasing == owning (which it should), then piracy is still != stealing
