If you can concretely find a victim in this purchasing strategy, then by all means tell me.

And how do you know when they are using that strategy? I know people that download.. because they don't give a damn. You can't let some people download and others not, so it's best to just stop everyone.
If you've preordered, then why not just wait for the actual game? You really want to play it french first? Won't that kinda ruin the suprise?
You mention code in your post. Downloading the code is defiently wrong. If i spent that much time on a game i wouldn't want the source code stolen from me. It's happened before to me, someone yoinked the game right off my PC at school whilst my back was turned.

but physically stealing a game is NOT the same as downloading it. Copyright infringement doesn't equal shoplifting/stealing.

Explain how it is different. You still have a copy of the game you haven't payed for.
Sorry if it's going a bit off-topic. But i think it relates to Halo 2 being leaked quite a bit. Which bit was leaked? Just the game? (in french) or code too?
