That's why nobody got charged with theft, they were charged with criminal copyright infringement. Which carries a much larger punishment than just stealing a disc from your local big box store.
You don't "buy" the content, you buy a license to use the content in a way that the copyright holder seems acceptable. And if you don't like it, fuck you, cause corporations are more people than people.
