Theft in the UK (England and Wales) is covered by the theft act 1978 (and previous)
A key term is intent to deprive, hence most people nicking a car will be done for taking without consent - no need to prove an intent to permanently deprive.
Copyright infringement is a whole separate law and is clearly not theft as there's no intent to permanently deprive.
