But you may be depriving someone of something.

E.g., if I had pirated Photoshop I would not have been depriving Adobe of anything, because there was no way I would pay the several hundred dollars they were charging for it at the time.

But Adobe is not the only company selling image editing software. Rather than pirate Photoshop I bought the much less expensive Pixelmator. They would not have gotten that sale if I had chosen to pirate Photoshop.
