Not according to the law, and a "potential lost sale" does not count as criminal copyright infringement for profit (even then it still wouldn't be "theft").

I also have a bias since I am a software developer and copying my hard work without paying me certainly feels like a "theft". How would you feel if your hard work was coppied without your permission?

I'm a software developer too. Sure, if that happened I wouldn't like it, but that doesn't change the fact that copying is not stealing.
