Well then you open the rabbit hole as to where the harm comes from in regards to theft entirely

There is no rabbit hole, though. You're depriving them of money, and if the creator (bicycle maker, art creator, etc.) has no monetary incentive to make their products to begin with, then they won't.

And it's less defending capitalism than defending common sense. A world of rampant theft is a world where there's no incentive to create anything to steal to begin with, unless you get into some type of socialism paradise shit (THAT is a rabbit hole to go down).

I can already see I kicked a hornet's nest and made this a bigger topic than I wanted to, so I won't really revisit this discussion. Like I said, I don't care what piracy you engage in, and you can use whatever reasoning you wish to justify it. I just wanted to point out that these justifications make one sound like an edgelord if you're really going to start questioning what "theft" is.
