It has NOTHING to do with liking the person you could steal from. You either steal or you don't, and the reason you don't can range from not being able to steal it to wanting a higher quality version than what you can get for free (that's why I prefer to buy music and movies). But liking the person who created it... that just sounds like some shit a pirate would say to justify their actions.
