What would you call taking or using something without paying for it, then? Resources are still being spent to transport the person who has not paid for them.
I think I figured out the disconnect here. Yes, hopping a turnstile is against the law. It is still not considered theft. It is called fare evasion, and it is more akin to a traffic violation. The reason I was confused, and why I assumed you meant morality, is that nobody is saying piracy isn’t against the law. The article never said that either.

Who is losing resources when you hop a turnstile?
The transportation authority who maintains the trains and stations.
