I don't think that we are disagreeing about what is right and wrong (although there is a range of opinion on the forum as the poll shows).
We also agree that the law needs to change - and I agree with your points about changing the focus away from punishment etc.
Our only significant disagreement, it seems to me, is that while we agree that
most people do or have engaged in unauthorised copying of one form or another, you want to call it theft and I don't.
You have said that you want to reduce the social stigma - in which case I'd recommend not using a word that has a whole lot of social stigma attached to it.
