Sorry, but analogs of digital events to physical ARE in fact accurate. Both cost money, time, resources to fix. Both have real costs. Stealing movies is EXACTLY THE SAME if you pirate online or shoplift it, hacking into someone's private property and stealing information is REALLY THEFT!
Both "real" and "digital" crimes hurt people - financially, psychologically and physically.. Only sociopaths deliberately hurt people. Therefore - hackers and pirates are in fact sociopaths and belong in the same prison.
