No it isn't. it is copyright infringement - completely different (in the eyes of the law) from stealing.

No it isn't, 'they' would put DRM on things anyway, as they are obsessed with control, are paranoid and are completely untrusting. Even though stats indicate time and time again, that a pirated copy [a lot of the time] does not constitue a lost sale, since research shows that most people who have pirated copies of things, only have it because it is free and would not have bought it if it wasn't free. (I'm not saying this makes it right however, just pointing out the facts)
