There's a difference between discussing what the law is and what the law ought to be. And if you want to get technical, you're describing copyright infringement, not theft per se. Anything else I'd probably type in response would mostly be reiterating my earlier points distinguishing between intellectual "property" and physical property, which haven't really been addressed. That is, "stealing" is the wrong word for it and people instinctively know it and make fun of it via "you wouldn't download a car" jokes.
