It's untrue based on a legal definition of the words. According to law, copyright infringement and theft are two completely different things. You may have your own personal definition of the word "theft" and "thief", but I don't know why you would expect others to share your personal definition.
Comments similar to yours are generally made by people who either don't understand the law, or are intentionally misusing the terms for purposes of FUD. Based on your previous comments about downloaders requiring permission from the copyright holder (which is nonsense), I'll assume the former. It appears that some of your opinions are based on fundamental misunderstandings of IP.
