I am ashamed that I hadn’t reasoned this through given all the rubbish digital services have pulled with “purchases” being lies.

        Stealing services doesn’t necessarily have to do with copyright infringement.

        My point is that OP over simplification of theft is not even worth considering, from a legal or personal point of view.

          Not really, theft is theft. Fraud is fraud. Just because something feels like theft doesn’t make it theft.

            You were the one who quoted that wage theft is a form or fraud, so I’m not sure what’s your point. Yes, some theft can be fraud… but still theft.
