Indentity theft isn't theft. It's "identity theft".
I did go on to say how copyright theft was separate to copyright infringement.
But I find I'm too late - a quick search for sources to back me up finds that the phrase has already been taken over and lost it's original meaning. Copyright theft (at least on web pages) is now synonymous with copyright infringement. Sigh...
