It isn't but saying "copyright infringement" over and over gets tiring. I think ethically they're equivalent even if they're not the same crime by statute. It seems to me people just use it as a shortcut. It's not "pirating" either, but I think most people understand what folks mean without getting mired in strict semantics.
