Legally, it's still piracy. If I bought fifty copies of a game or movie and then went back and stole a 51st copy, that would still be illegal.
Frankly, stealing a game that currently retails for about $30 is not even worth the effort IMO.
I'll make one call to customer service and if it takes longer than ten minutes, for future purchases, I'll either buy EA published games through Steam or on console, or I just won't bother buying them at all.
That's one of the big problems with PC gaming; no rental system beyond demos due to the infinite number of configurations and related compatibility problems, not that I ever rent games anyway. But with this limited install trend (I received 2 for Warhead), that is exactly what you are getting for your retail priced game.
I'm not at "fault" for anything. I've bought hundreds of new games over the years. If all gaming consumers were like me, the size of the industry would be larger by factors of ten.
About the closest thing I've done to stealing games, is buying used copies of out of print or hard to find games.
