Do you read public domain books? If so, do you pay creator for your access? If the public domain is theft, then you're a thief if you don't pay when you read public domain books. It is no defense to say that it is ok, because the book was already stolen, no more than it would be to recieve stolen goods. Do you read books or watch movies that are based on public domain works without paying the original creator? If so, then if the public domain is theft, then you are recieving stolen goods.
Again, just because you don't see the difference between intellectual property and physical property doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You haven't made any case that they are the same thing.
