If it is copied, it is most certainly not theft.

Copyright infringment most likely, but not theft.
I disagree. It's certainly copyright infringement. It may not, as a matter of technical law, be defined as theft, but that doesn't really change things, and I'm not going to argue definitions. Taking something that doesn't belong to you is stealing. Just because it's easy to do with ebooks doesn't make it any less wrong.
