No I'm not kidding. Piracy is theft. If you take something of mine without my permission you are a thief. It's a matter of principles and morals and doing what is right. Just because you can (copy a file) doesn't mean you should. No I'm not kidding. Piracy is theft. If you take something of mine without my permission you are a thief.

Well if you insist on calling names I'll politely take gloves off.
The politest way I can call your position is "intentionally dense", the less polite way was expressed by one of the readers of the article you recommend. Look it up.
The defenders of the word "thief" come across in one way and one way only.
First they whine and cry - "how the author will put the bread on the table", then they become patriotic (or at least capitalistic) - "writer has a
right to get paid for his work" and then they become apocalyptic - "you won't have anything new to read, since the world of creativity end if you copy the file or give somebody your copy to read". All of those statements while emotional are not backed by those posters with any numbers, logic or even common sense from what I can see - or at least their relevance is still in question. But that's not the worst.
When replied with numbers and examples from common peoples lives and research (and in this case with the the passages from law books), they simply reply - "all this is rationalizing by the thieves which you are".
Somebody correctly said, it's useless to feed the trolls or reply to fundamentalists. So I have to concur.
It's the capacity to understand the difference between taking something that precludes you from having or using it, and making a copy of something - that's lacking, not the fault of people who try to explain it to you.
