There are so many ways of "stealing", and the question changes if you consider the term according to its literal or non-literal meaning. The slogan - YOU WOULDNT STEAL X - can be effective for people who don't download or who have never downloaded anything in their lives, but its impact is none on everybody else, also because it is so very simplistic and, as a result, ludicrous.

PS: not that piracy without grog is a good thing, anyway...

Wise words, very nicely said indeed.
