Perhaps if you didn't ignore their argments you'd realise that they are founded on a moral position, and the use of the word "theft" is merely an expression of that position, not the position itself.
If you believe that copying is morally wrong, then it's wrong whether you choose to call it theft or not. A rose by any other name etc.
