There's no such thing as intellectual property, so there's nothing that could be stolen.
Some people have a temporary monopoly to copy their work (which belongs to whole society from the moment it was released from the mind of an author), granted to them by the state in hope they will be encouraged to create more. This monopoly is called copyright. It can be infringed upon by copying the work without author's permission, hence the term 'copyright infringement'.
I really hate it when people try to invent newspeak to distort reality for others.
