I dont understand why its even a debate. If the creator didnt allow you to use his software, its theft. Sure, there are methods to actually mitigate and make good use of piracy, but then, it effectively become free-to-use-unless-for-business/enterprise model of business. And that should be something that the owner decide, not the user.

No. Stealing implies taking something and depriving its oriignal owner of it not copying against the wishes of the creator. Whatever piracy is, it isn't theft.

If I sneak into a museum (one you would have to pay for) and look at all the art they have on display, but otherwise don't leave a trace, am I stealing?
