I suspect not.
I further suspect that if you were the record shop owner you would feel that you were within your rights to stop some feckless prick from stealing your stock, and I can guarantee that you would not give a flying fuck how entitled the thieving scroat believed him self to be.
I really do not understand the argument here. Stealing is against the law.
You are only even considering stealing someone else's property because there is no mechanism to punish you for doing so.

Utterly Incorrect:
I would not be walking into a store, and removing an item of physical property, that had been purchased for resale by the store.
I would simply be getting a digital version, of an old album, which I had ALREADY paid for, over 6 times in the past...
I cannot steal something that is not a physical item, if I have paid for it. Like I say, not once, twice, three, four or five times in the past - But 6 times (In the last 35 years)
But thanks for the input anyway - Like I said in the OP, this is a
THEORETICAL argument, and I
DO appreciate your input - Despite completely disagreeing with you
