Laws are very much about semantics.
Ethics & morality discussion require semantic agreements. You and I probably agree that "theft" is wrong--but we disagree on what "theft" is, so we may disagree on what actions are wrong.
We may not. We may agree that the same set of actions are immoral, but we can't know that unless we are describing them the same way.
I'm not going to call copyright infringement--an illegal act--by the name of another illegal act, for your convenience. And if you think copyright infringement *really is* theft, I have to wonder what else in your logic is flawed, and I feel comfortable disregarding the rest of your judgments, because obviously, they're based on false premises.
