3. Unauthorized copying isn't theft. Copyright violation isn't theft either.
4. One can't be an owner of a piece of information. An idea, a book, or any other piece of information having an owner is nonsense. One can be a creator, or discoverer of it, but everyone reached by this piece of information becomes a discoverer as well.
5. The copyright law .it's been bloated out of proportion by companies protecting their economic interests, and it does more damage than profit to the public now.
6. There exists a term "intellectual property", IP for short, which incorrectly implies that idea has an owner, and thus does much harm to public opinion on the matter of copyright. .....

#3 depends on how the others are defined, so it's null and void.
#4 you are wrong. You are using an outdated understanding of information. In this day and age information has become property whether you agree or not. The laws are moving ever forward in that direction.
#5 yes the copyright laws need to change to match our new definitions, products and properties.
#6 see # 4.
