I agree with the idea that stealing personal property and stealing digital property should have the same penalty. Maybe even worse for stealing digital property.

And receiving stolen property when someone else actually stole it should have the same penalty as using stolen digital content that was actually stolen and distributed by someone else.

The hard line is between what is stealing, and what is receiving stolen property. Not between what's digital and what's physical.
