It's Unauthorised Copying. There is no need to redefine anything or spend any time thinking about it. Either a copy is authorised, and fair use, or it's unauthorised. Simple.
The only confusion comes from the moralists, who insist on other terms. And using the terms like Piracy and Theft drives the debate into an emotive rather than logical area, which favours the darknet communities and not the proponents of fair copyright systems.
