If someone takes a TV and never gets caught, was it still theft?

The public has the CHOICE not to use the software. Microsoft is not
forcing anyone to use their software. An ethical person would abide by
the EULA or use some free software that has no EULA.

An unethical person keeps making excuses to steal.

Someone is caught stealing tv's the company that they stole them from can
have them arrested and tried in court. If found guilty then they can be
fined, put in jail or both. But the company cannot accuse everyone who
comes in their store of being a thief or enforcing the law against those
who are. Only public law enforcement and the courts can do that.
