It's pretty easy to steal from your local grocery store, too.
Violation of copyright is not theft. If I take an orange from the grocery store, they no longer have that orange. If I download a book,song,film the original owner still has his copy. No theft has occured. It is a tort. A civil wrong or breach of a duty to another person, as outlined by law.
