No, when someone calls it "theft" it just shows that they have no clue what they're talking about. The industry is intentionally trying to blur the lines between "copyright infringement" and "theft", because the word theft leaves a much stronger negative impression in people's minds. Obviously, there are a lot of people out there who aren't smart enough to understand the difference.
