You missed one part of what I said: "per item."

I'm not arguing that there are no costs to delivering streaming content. What I'm arguing is that there are no per-stream costs to the studio, Netflix, or anyone else (other than the hosting site) for someone who watches a stream on a pirate streaming site, so it's not really comparable to stealing a car. It still may be unethical, but it's definitely a different ethical category than stealing something which has a per-unit cost; actually depriving someone of a valuable object that they posses is different enough that the analogy doesn't work.
