You made up some BS claims, but I don't see how that counts as explanation, exactly.
Please stop being condescending.

That might apply to tangible objects (in a lot of cases, anyway), but not to copyrighted works. Calling such copyright violations "theft" is uniformed or, at best, intellectually dishonest. "Theft" always includes the taking away of a physical object in such a way that the original owner no longer has possessions of it. This is, be definition, impossible with virtual goods. You can steal a physical copy of that work, a book, a CD, but not the work itself.

They create the works, that act of creation automatically grants them the right to do whatever they want with that creation ...

There is no "automatic" here. They only have the rights we as a society give them.
