If by theft you mean unauthorised content consumption, good luck with that. The generation that you allowed to grow up with free downloads will be raising their own children soon, and they will almost certainly be passing on their habits.

Those children will grow up with instant access to any information they want, so just saying that downloading is like stealing a car, mugging an old lady, or killing kittens, isn't going to get you very far. And anything to the contrary that you teach them at school will just be debunked by their parents as soon as they get home. It would be like teaching religion to the child of an atheist.
