The only response you’ve given is “that’s not harmful”, which is in no way an argument for why it isn’t. It’s not totally inconceivable that taking things, even data, without permission can be harmful and to claim otherwise seems willfully stupid and in this case self serving.
they would be wrong, taking something involves moving that thing from its original position to a new position. you need to touch or move the object somehow, without even talking about the fact that you would remove it from somebody else possession.
none of that happens when you download a copy of a movie or something. none.

I’ll take your approach. No, that’s not what “taking something” means, because clearly the definition they’re using for that is more inclusive.
