Doesn't matter, copyright infringement still has nothing to do with theft.

That is why the definition of theft had to be adjusted.

No, the definition has not been adjusted. The only people who refer to copyright infringement as theft either do not understand the difference because they are confused, or else they understand the difference perfectly well, but choose to use the wrong word on purpose because the negative images behind the word "theft" suit their agenda better than saying "infringement".

Copying any physical product (garments, shoes, electronics, furniture, etc) would not be a crime since you are only taking away sales.

Nobody said copyright infringement wasn't a crime. However, it is not theft. Copying physical products isn't theft either.
