I think the public idea of theft permits this interpretation. so far as I know the idea of identify theft (a related theft idea) has no other name than theft at least in the news and public. Splitting hairs a lawyer knows that the statute has different consequences but for the public that is not the important issue (unless of course they are trying to beat the rap). Copyright infringement is not listed in the 10 commandments.
