If you sneak onto someoneโ€™s campground property and have a bonfire party

Ah, I would say that is worse than piracy, since you deprive them of the ground for a time. A better analogy would be sneaking into the party they are having and enjoying it with them without paying for an invitation. Or sneaking into a concert.

Maybe, in my mind I was picturing a situation where someone had lots of property and didnโ€™t realize that anything had happened. I see your point though, that in theory youโ€™re depriving them of the use of it whereas with copyright infringement there isnโ€™t even a second where they canโ€™t enjoy their own property. They only potentially lose out on a sale.

Sneaking into a concert that isnโ€™t full is probably a better analogy. You get the experience of the concert without paying for it, and the venue owner maybe loses out on a sale without knowing it.
