If he buys blank media, he may already be paying a special tax or levy. I
do. Please explain to me how duplicating something is indeed, theft. As I
was taught, theft deprives the original owner of access to it. IE: If I
thiefed (hehehe) your car, you wouldn't have it anymore. If I copied it,
you still have yours. How have I stolen yours then?

Intellectual copyright infringement isn't theft.
