Eh, not really. Here's a very clear example of why your stance doesn't work. I buy an MP3 from Amazon. I then copy it 'copy bits' over to another computer. Agreed, at this point all is fine. However, then I go try to sell the copied song for value to a 3rd-party. I may profess to 'own' the original download and the copy, however that doesn't give me the right to sell the song. It's the same with Bitcoin, if you just copied my Bitcoins, it's not theft in a sense, it's when you try to sell or exchange my Bitcoins for value that theft comes into play.
