In your highly vocal opinion, not in mine, not in a law definition of theft.

True,
copyright law. Which is amended and changed too often to my liking (hopefully one day it will change to my liking).
I don't think criminal law defining theft has been changed or likely to change soon.

Depriving from livelihood is not a theft btw, if I write and article saying that author A sucks, and 10000 people doesn't buy his work, I am effectively denying his "right to a livelihood"
, am I a thief now?
