Yes. I am being a touch technical. Please forgive this, it is a feature of my profession and I am too old now to easily change. But copyright infringement is not larceny. They are not identical, factually or legally.
I am not suggesting that infringing copyright is morally or legally correct or acceptable. It is even arguable that theft and copyright infringement are moral equivalents. It seems that this may in fact be your thinking on the matter. However, the fact that copyright owners want to send a simple message with maximum impact does not magically turn one into the other.
