The word theft in connection with copy
right is probably one of the most clever campaigns that successfully spred something just plain wrong. (However, "I am loving it" is coming close
).
The copyright laws regulates the distribution of a creation and the
rights of the creators. Theft has nothing to do with it.
However, I agree with your notion that downloading copyrighted material illicitly is morally wrong.
