I am agreeing to a rental agreement that outlines the terms. "Length of time*, extremely fees, and the cost of renting.

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."

What I am confused about is how it is fine to steal digital media but not physical items.

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.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy_is_theft

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?"

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.
