Here is the wiki definition of theft of services
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft_of_services
This guy was arrested for punching his cab driver and not paying the cab fare

This guy was arrested for stealing electricity

anyway, you get my point. Stealing a service is still theft.

Go to your wiki link for theft of services and click on the word larceny, which is what these crimes are typically prosecuted as (says the Wiki page). In the larceny link, go to the Personal Property section. It reads "This limitation means that acts of common law larceny cannot be committed against the following:" and it then goes on to name "intellectual property".
