Bad comparison.

It’s more like buying a car, driving it for two years, then the manufacturer decides they no longer want to support the car so it auto drives off in the middle of the night

No you can’t have a refund

Don't even need the auto drive off aspect.

A better comparison is where the car will no longer start no matter what you do to it. But you own the body/frame.

But like if someone stole it in those two years it would still be theft.

It's a perfect comparison, it's just not proving what you think it's trying to prove. It's proving that the If/Then statement is wrong and makes no sense if you think about it. It's not proving that piracy is theft.

Piracy isn't theft, but this isn't why.
