It is as silly as saying that just because something is called identity theft then it must be like theft.

No, it's not a different meaning of the word. Just because you assume certain things when you hear the word 'author' doesn't mean that assumption is valid. Your position like saying shoplifting is not theft, only bank robberies are theft. While a bank robber steals more than does a shoplifter, both are in fact thieves.
