Meh, piracy wouldn't equal stealing even if buying did mean owning. Piracy is duplicating without removing the original and doesn't take away any existing thing from the current owner. I count potential sells as a hypothetical thing that doesn't currently exist. Therefore, piracy is nothing even close to stealing.
