Sec. 2. (a) A person who knowingly or intentionally exerts unauthorized control over property of another person, with intent to deprive the other person of any part of its value or use, commits theft, a Class D felony.
I personally see no contradiction. While copyright might indeed be a property, violating itstill is not theft . Since you still have your copyright - it was not taken from you. You can still sell your movie rights et cetera. You can use it and it still have the same value.
