    In that case you’re actually using a limited resource: space on a train. And by occupying it you’re preventing someone else from using it (assuming a full train). Copying media doesn’t cost any resources (ignoring the tiny amounts of electricity) or interfere with anyone else’s ability to use that resource.

    They don’t compare.

        You’re technicall still using the company’s resources (it costs some energy to run the empty train), so I still don’t think it really compares to piracy.

        But since they are miniscule compared to what they are wasting by running largley empty trains I think it’s morally ok in that case.
