If I steal food from the store, I'm both robbing the store, and a community that would have paid good money for that food.

If I go to the store and magically have the items on the shelves be duplicated into my cart, and I don't have to pay for them. That is not a crime that is a miracle

Consider this. (big chain) Stores already steal from the community via profits they make.

And while we’re on about food, look at how much the grocery stores toss out.

Exactly true, and as applied to patents: if I steal your fish you go hungry, if I watch how you fish and do the same we both eat.
