Pretty sure that you do have to intend to permanently deprive for it to be theft. What you're describing is copyright infringement. Whether that's morally right is a different question but it's not stealing.
Is it though?
Theft in Scots Law is defined as the wrongful appropriation of the property of another, with the intention of permanently depriving the other person of his or her possession.
