If as the purchaser you don't outright own the product you've purchased, then there's no reasonable argument that it's "stealing" if you pirate that product instead. At best it's copyright infringement, and they can come at me in small claims court.

I don’t even know if it’s technically copyright since if you’re not sharing it you’re not infringing on their market, marketing, or product.
