    they would be wrong, taking something involves moving that thing from its original position to a new position. you need to touch or move the object somehow, without even talking about the fact that you would remove it from somebody else possession.

    none of that happens when you download a copy of a movie or something. none.

      I’ll take your approach. No, that’s not what “taking something” means, because clearly the definition they’re using for that is more inclusive.
