Yep, the only reason they call it theft (or even piracy) is because it sounds a lot more dramatic.
When I first heard about piracy, it meant people copying CDs and _selling_ them.

Heh. Interesting that they've stopped using the term "piracy" so much now that pirates are thought of as debonair swashbucklers who are sticking it to The Man, instead of as the murderous thugs that they actually were (are). Thank you, Johnny Depp.
