That sense of the word “take” is fairly consistently used of physical things, where you are depriving another of possession (with or without permission).

(Just for fun, The Devil’s Dictionary (not a work to be taken particularly seriously):

> TAKE, v.t. To acquire, frequently by force but preferably by stealth.

I quite like that way of putting it because it’s the megacorporations that are the pirates when they steal their DRM content back, because they are acquiring it from you so that you can’t have it, by force if they have to but they prefer stealth.)
