The point was that they are different crimes. Why do you think we do not call killing people murder and stealing things murder? It is because they are different and it is useful to distinguish between the different crimes. And we have two different crimes: theft and copyright infringement. Why insist on calling copyright infrimgement theft when they are different crimes?
