Well, whenever I rent a car, I am agreeing to a rental agreement that outlines the terms. Length of time, extremely fees, and the cost of renting.
If I buy digital media through an online storefront. I am also agreeing to terms. Which in certain cases will see me buying a licence to the media rather than a copy of it.
What I am confused about is how it is fine to steal digital media but not physical items.

So you don’t see the difference between a specifically defined length of time/conditions on when it will be returned vs “We’ll take the car back at any time without warning while outwardly presenting it as you purchasing the car outright.”

Because again you don’t understand simple language and think JAQing off is a more appropriate way to get answers than doing a simple search on your own.
Courts have distinguished between copyright infringement and theft.
Lawmakers and people smarter than you have already established there is a difference between piracy and stealing. Your insistence on calling them the same thing is as intelligent as saying “Why can I shoot people in digital media, but when I shoot people from my car it’s illegal? What’s the difference?”
We’ll take the car back at any time without warning while outwardly presenting it as you purchasing the car outright
Sounds like you should start reading the terms and conditions.

Almost as if I’m doing it on purpose. But that can’t be the case, can it?
Lawmakers and people smarter than you
Hopefully smart enough to fully read a Wikipedia article.
What you seem to are saying is that specifically and exclusively people who work on software, music and digital art should give away their labour for free.
Strawman. What I am saying is when I purchase software, music and digital art, I should own my copy of it and be able to freely use and enjoy it until the end of time. Not until the place I “purchased” it from no longer sells it.
You don’t see how “piracy” only refers to digital media? What do you think “piracy” is?
