Come again? I certainly don't consider accuracy in expression "unsophisticated". And, yes, "theft" is very clearly defined to only apply to tangible goods. Once you steal something the original owner no longer has it.
If we are talking about ebooks and the like it's "copyright violation". It's not my fault that it doesn't sound quite as catchy. (I have an idea, why don't we call it "mindrape"? You're making use of an author's "intellectual property" without his consent, after all.)
