Are people passing it off as their work?

If I buy a copy of a wp theme and use it am I passing it off as my own work and would it be called plagiarism?

Is it really necessary to dig into a tit-for-tat war on definitions here? I think plagiarism has a plain enough meaning for my argument here. People can argue about special cases or the edges, but disagreement there needn't invalidate my whole argument.
