The reason for the distinction between stealing and copyright infringement is simple, I think I even mentioned it in the first post in the thread, or certainly early on.
If I steal your apple, then I have an apple, and you don't.
If I steal a copy of the book you wrote then I have a copy of the book you wrote, and you still have the original.
It's clearly not the same thing.
But that of course doesn't mean it's justified in any way.
